Yes, I saw that earlier today. I thought it was a clear, to-the-point 
letter to Mr. Gates from some concerned developers. They also seem 
realistic about their efforts - knowing that Bill could just laugh at 
them. However, they have a good attitude about the whole deal: Doing 
something is better than doing nothing. Doing nothing is just telling 
Bill Gates that being a hypocrite about Microsoft's Java "support" is 
just O.K.
