Mary, Re -- I don't think it's happening (but I do think they are spending a lot of money on PR). These things are evolutionary. It will take a couple of years before there is anything significant in Java. In the meantime there will be many small failures and successes. Given that everyone including Microsoft are feverishly working on it, its very likely it will succeed, just by pure momentum. The Java environment is the next layer above the OS and anyone capturing a significant portion will emerge as a dominant player. Stockman

Mary - Re: "Are you referring to anything more than some Javascript or appellates (sp?) that are downloaded along with the HTML?" This is primarily what I am referring to - small Java-based applets. Re: "but I do think they are spending a lot of money on PR)." They also get a lot of free Media hype. Paul

Mary, re: "I'm looking for some personal knowledge (from anyone) of any real significant uses of Java" I know of one company that is basing their entire product line on Java. But they are using it as a language and do not care about portability. Java, when used as a language, and when compiled to native code on the target machine is as good as if not better than any other computer language in existence. By the way, this company is targeting their products for Windows NT running on x86 processors, period. And these products will be significant. They aren't just web applets.
