Hi Because if we wish to cooperate we can have a say on a genuine attempt to make the interface accessible. Furthermore, you compared one element of an application against a desktop environment.

I'm about to write something here that details one of Microsoft's sins and why I'm doing it is because nothing in that press release told me that use of any sun tool will make such sins either highly unlikely or impossible in the future. I know of more than one Microsoft sin, but I want to keep this message short so will settle for one. I have used msaccess for data base development. In most of that development I was successful. However when it came time to design the forms using Microsoft tutorials I found that Microsoft had neglected to supply any keyboard shortcuts or any submenus to enable keyboard users to design forms. There were label boxes and control boxes that had handles on them and you had to click on the handles with the mouse and drag the handle to move and resize controls and other boxes. I'm wondering, what will prevent open source developers copying that same interface strategy and with or without any of sun's stuff locking us out again.
