Scumbria:

Cringely's article in the Feb 19, 2001 InfoWorld says that the P4 cannot run Java. Any insights??


Notes from the Field Robert X. Cringely®

Bobby wonders if Intel is dissing Java and if Intuit will live up to its name

...Pentium to diss Java?

Although the Wintel partnership has certainly seen better days, word is that Intel may be trying to make amends with the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant. Those with their ears close to the ground report that the new Pentium IVs don't work with Java, the technology produced by Microsoft rival Sun Microsystems. (Intel insiders, do you care to comment?)

This probably has nothing to do with the fact that Microsoft agreed in its settlement with Sun not to sell Java anymore. Then a few days later Microsoft announced migration tools for moving from Java to the .NET platform.
