Sal,

"Oh, sure, Lotus can make an office suite for Java. That's easy. But here are ten other Java apps that coders are still working on:

Here are ten OS's that coders are still working on:

10. DOS
9. Windows1.0
8. Windows2.0
7. OS/2
6. Windows3.0
5. Windows3.1
4. Windows3.11
3. Windows95
2. Windows98
1. WindowsNT

None seem to be truly 100% compatible with each other and no application developed on them could outperform native code if that's the issue. Seems like the difference between Java's future and Window's past is not all that great, but if even 1% of my applications run on an Apple, PC, SGI, and SUN; then that is more than Windows can offer me right now.

Cheers,

Norm
