Scott McNealy van Sun (niet bepaald vriendjes met Bill) heeft in een interview met de BBC op de Telecom99 beurs gezegd dat Microsoft wat hem betreft niet in stukken gehakt hoeft te worden. ZDNet UK heeft het nieuws:
As the high profile Department of Justice v Microsoft anti-trust trial draws to a close, there has been increasing speculation the software giant will be divided into several "baby Bills".In the past McNealy has been portrayed as arch-rival to Microsoft chairman Bill Gates. Sun's Java competes with Microsoft and Sun recently did a deal to offer a free alternative to Microsoft Office -- StarOffice -- distributed via the Internet. Despite the history of antagonism, McNealy denies he is keen for Microsoft to be broken up, calling instead for the software giant to be prevented from investing in new companies.
