Look at Taligent, Kaleida, PowerPC, and even OS/2. I have my doubts IBM will stay the course. One never knows with IBM, but Java is built into OS/2 so you can run native Java app's without a browser. I just don't know of that many Java app's.

rudedog, The thrust of JAVA extends well beyond IBM. Platform independence in not only an interesting theory, but is rapidly becoming a necessity, and for a variety of reasons. Yet, at this stage of JAVA's development, like MSFT, IBM has both the ability and the motive to pollute JAVA. It would be foolish to do so.
