See The Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/24351.html) for an article about this (and it is in English :D )
Although it seems a bit rediculous. First Sun sues M$ to get them to stop using Java. Then M$ stops offering an obsolete version of the JVM, 'cause they agreed not to offer the more up-to-date versions as part of the previous suit. Now Sun sues M$ for not offering Java...
Only a lawyer could make sense of that :D

Sun is accusing Microsoft of fragmenting the Java platform and flooding the market with incompatible Java Runtime Environments. For extras, there's also a charge that Redmond violated Sun's copyright in distributing of an unlicensed implementation of the Java Runtime Environment.
This accusation would seem to be in keeping with the M$ business ethic though...
