Hello Paul,

This is a short one ... just wanted to clarify again ...

> I hate to think Lemon's post is company policy.

In no way am I trying to state that my opinions are those of Novell or it's management. Because I work at Novell I do represent one opinion internally, by my postings are my beliefs and would continue inside or outside of the company. I agree with many of the things going on at Novell ... I also disagree with some of them.

Now this I can agree with. Java offers customers the freedom to choose. They *can* run them on Windows ... but they can run them elsewhere also ...
