MS does not make money on developer tools. In fact, they purposely make their tools cheap to attract developers.

MS makes money off selling versions of it's OS and it's Office suite.

Sun makes money off selling hardware, which makes Java an odd direction for them to take because it runs on hardware other than their own.
