What is it about trade-rag writers and CEOs that make them instant experts? techweb.com The truth is a simple one: the language is 100% portable but the VM definitely needs work on all of the plaforms. The latest initiative by Sun defines more of the operating parameters at the VM level. The incompatibility of Windows 3.1 with Windows 95 with Windows NT with Windows CE is not lost on developers of Java. The language is 100% portable, the API's will soon be 100% portable and the real problems at the VM and driver levels will be resolved over the coming months. These instant experts still haven't grasped the fundamental concept that Java is a set of layered technologies, not just a language. Gee, wonder why there are Java applications written in languages other than Java? The Java bytecode is what defines a Java application and it runs on the JVM. Complete and utter ignorance isn't having the slightest effect on Java's forward momentum; buffoons like Corel corp have managed the impossible: they have stained the coffee!

Everything I have posted is less than 12 weeks old. It would be a full time job to keep AMD updated with the daily barrage of developments in Java. Hopefully you realize by now that backing by every industry giant, including Microsoft, is the real indication of the state of Java: The Microsoft NetPC extension would upgrade the current NetPC to more efficiently run Java applications on the Internet, while at the same time maintaining compatibility with current Windows applications, sources close to the effort said. techweb.com
