Shane,

Reading that article doesn't answer the question I've had, and I think Rod touched on a couple of weeks ago, which is whether Java 1.2's performance will be significantly higher.

If Borland can make improvements in this area, there's a lot of money to be made there and it's why I think we have to be attentive to what they are doing and what the competition is doing. I'm just starting to dabble in Java now, as my time permits, but I've already seen how slowly Java applets run and I think performance is holding back development (although what I've read indicates Java's acceptance is high).

Dumb question: what alternatives to Java are there, besides Visual Basic?

Regards,
Dave
