In a move that has Java developers up in arms, Microsoft Corp. decided not to ship a Java Virtual Machine for the cross-platform Java language in the recent beta version -- Release Candidate 1 (RC 1) -- of its new Windows XP operating system. Nor will the final version of Windows XP, slated for release in October, ship with a JVM. | ||

I'm a Java developer full time, and let me tell you, I think this is a Good Thing (tm) and here's why: - Microsoft just gets into trouble with their JVM, even though it performs way faster than Sun's HotSpot JVM - Microsoft wouldn't be able to keep up with Sun's constantly changing Java spec. MS's currently shipping JVM doesn't support Java 2, for example. - Sun would be free to distribute the JVM and update it as frequently as they would like and as competition demands. - This isn't the same as the browser deal. Just because MS doesn't ship a JVM doesn't mean people will stop using Java. The difference between Java and .NET is a huge development effort. Companies will choose the technology based on what suits their need better. The JVM or the .NET CLR are inconsequential in the Java vs .NET debate. |
