Could this be the 2010 Java Hello World program:


public(tm) class(tm) Hello World{(tm)
    public(tm) static(tm) void(tm) main(tm)() {(tm)
           System(tm).out(tm).println(tm)("(tm)Hello world"(tm));(tm)
    }(tm)
}(tm)

;D

I believe that Bill just likes to get peoples goat. He doesnt need the money or name recognition of a patent. He knows that if he opens his mouth at all, many in the non-microsoft communities will scream foul before they hear the words and this generates press. Who knows, he probably secretly bankrolls Sun and some Linux players owns a little stock here and there and is just growing his billions a software dollar at a time…regardless of flavor. LOL ;D

Just write your code and have a nice day…
