MS got the stuffing sued out of them doing that with the browser.  With
Oracle having such a significant market share on Windows, they certainly
would act likewise, with a stronger case as well as precedent to back them
up.  Slam dunk.

Anybody with a half a brain, even just the brain-stem like a sales or
finance person, would run screaming rather than start that all over again.
However, none of the software vendors have ever shrunk from making money at
the expense of a few ³security² concerns (or any other technical issue).
