The former is really hard > to believe and the latter might be a bit of an unfair criticism. (Would a > "Hello World" app written for Windows have to count all of Windows as part > of its "footprint"?) I understand the latter. But they also say that's not totally unfair because if you are in a shared machine -for example at my school, isn't inusual that 30 or 40 students make a practice over the same machine via xterms- then every java apprentice trying his "hello world" will require 40 megs. And if the program is not a trivial one the footprint quickly grows. Yes, one can better share the JVM, but if you want different applications to be completely isolated to prevent one bringing down another...
