Microsoft Not Selling Visual J++
No Comments
Microsoft has refuted weekend news reports claiming Microsoft was selling off Visual J++ to Rational, a third party vendor. Many assumed Microsoft wanted the company to continue development of the product since Rational has no agreements with Sun Microsystems. Tony Goodhew, a Visual Studio Product Manager blames the confusion on an announcement pertaining to the Visual Studio Integration Program (VISP), of which Rational is a member. However, Goodhew also noted that the future of J++ and java will be uncertain until a final ruling is handed down from the courts.
