Gary: The word is OPTIMIZED. As opposed to the general purposefulness of an Intel Pentium, etc. Nothing so particularly special about JAVA in this context except that it is the thing being used, therefore discussed. There is a slew of reasons why this wasn't done years ago. I identified them several posts ago in a paragraph having to do with WHY PCs needed to be powerful. In a nutshell they couldn't be connected in any meaningful fashion and therefore REQUIRED a GP processor. VMs exist in all sorts of single purpose or single effort devices today. The prose in that post isn't too bad, give it a read. BTW I am an EE and a CS who has never designed a uProc in his life. So if I have something not exactly correct re: VMs within these devices, hey, what can I say? The concept is probably 90% correct and suitable for the level of discussion here, no? Scott
