Another note regarding the Meyer attack on Java:

The portability of Java is questioned, primarily by reference
to a trade article where Microsoft has "declared war" on Sun
over Java -- the implication being that Java will not be available
on Microsoft OSs (e.g. Windows). I'm not sure that the cause and
effect is particularly well established, but coincidentally I
read that, in the new Apple-Microsoft collaboration, the two
parties have agreed to work to provide more Java support on
Apple products. Apparently, the "war" is more Microsoft vs.
Sun than Microsoft vs. Java.
