What is Microsoft doing in the train simulator business? Is Bill Gates also
a train buff?

Is this another example of Microsoft's monopolistic urges?

The reason why the question comes up is that Microsoft, already having
problems with software meeting open system standards, has recently announced
that they are going to drop Java, which is an open system standard, and
develop their own proprietary language in its stead. What makes this
especially bad is that Microsoft has a track record of developing less
robust systems that end up supplanting more robust ones.
