It is a platform. Also, like MS Windows, it is a proprietary commercial platform. On other mailing lists, I have seen it pointed out that you can write programs in any language for the JVM and associated operating systems facilities. Even so, all JVM's that I've seen are heavily biased in favor of Java. If you don't believe me, Just take a look at: http://java-source.net/ Regarding the speed of Java, it's as fast as C++ (Not C) if and only if it is run as a VM server and not as the JVM client. As everyone knows, 98% of all java apps are executed as a JVM client. I am equally thrilled with java as a development tool... Regards Marvin
