It was adopted more quickly across the software industry than any other new technology in computing history. Realizing its potential, many of Sun’s competitors, including Microsoft, had rushed to license Java. Microsoft began to move aggressively to counter Sun’s every move They were able to persuade thousands of software developers to use Microsoft’s version of Java Sun continued to win the battles, but who would win the war? Java represented a major part of Sun’s future success. Its continuing development would spur sales growth for Sun’s Internet servers, software tools, and microchips. 7

Abbreviated Financial Statement 11

Java is software for writing programs that can run on any device connected to a network. This unique versatility means that people working on completely different operating systems can work on the same document or play the same game as long as the program is written in Java. This is a fundamentally different vision of computing from the PC and fits perfectly with the World Wide Web’s way of doing things. 12

JAVA IN THE MARKETPLACE Java was poised to affect the technology market in three important ways. Versatility “write once, run anywhere” Savings “reduce creative, distribution, and transfer costs” Competition  “We always thought we were onto something with Java—that it was our one big chance to challenge Microsoft and change the economics of the business.” 13
