That's no answer, that's just a bunch of buzzwords. Java
has some people excited because the non-MS folks have
perpetuated the idea that Java frees us from any given
OS by running unmodified on any system. But big deal!
If everyone is using Windows anyway (and 80% of all
computers are using Windows) then Java doesn't free us
from anything. We already have software which runs everywhere
and it is anything which runs under Windows.

Java is Sun-centric.
