Actually, M$ changed it to be INCOMPATIBLE. This is one of their key
methods of establishing a monopoly. The "run better" was just BS.

They lost the 'easy way' to defeat Java; the next attack was to not
use it and create a proprietary (of course) 'replacement' language
instead.

Yep! - C# is born. :-)

They would have lost either way. M$ was out to kill Java any way it
could.

Yep - they were doing just trying to do what M$ does all the time. :-)
MT> MS was being nice in carrying Java for Sun,
Naah - it was just an interim step needed before they put in place the
real Java-killers. The popularity of Java took M$ by surprise, and
they needed some time to develop replacements.
"MS was being nice" - yeah, right. :-)

Not that masterful - they lost the 'easy way', and this was just one
possible next step out of many others in their quest to kill Java.
M$ will not rest until Java is essentially completely gone. This was
evident from the beginning. I assume you knew this from your research,
though.
M$ is just like the Taliban - controlling, ruthless, and will allow
users as little freedom as possible. You're gonna have to do it their
way.
