As I understand it the DOJ had an injunction but it was overturned by a higher court. I could be wrong about this. To the best of my recollection, Sun's case is going to trial in September. SO that is apparently is the next best shot to stop them from putting their shit on the market. Given the money that M$ has and the way the justice system works here, M$ could well bankrupt Sun and the whole issue becomes moot. Personally, I would love to see Sun kick M$'s butt right over their shoulder. Maybe it will be Caldera that finally kicks M$'s butt. ;-) Ray Norda has had a hardon for Bill Gates for a long time now.
