If that was really the case, that would be fine:

Sun (Scott McNealy) said something rather different;
"Microsoft has implied in the press that removing the Java Virtual Machine 
was a condition of the settlement of our lawsuit against them. Pardon my 
French, but that's bullspin."
"The decision to remove Java technology was Microsoft's alone. The real 
reason, I suspect, is to give you the same kind of choice Henry Ford 
offered to buyers of the Model T: "Any color you want, as long as it's 
black." "
