[... dripping with sarcasm ...]

Richard, you really need to expand on your comment above.
It appears as though you are saying that Sun/JavaSoft is not
trying to create a portable Java.  I sure that's not what you
really meant to say.  It also appears that you are saying
that Microsoft _is_ trying to create a truely cross-platform
Java environment.

Maybe you should try again.
