> From: "Erik Mitsch" <baron@baron-inc.net> > why would you want to program Java with Windows > in mind, when Windows doesn't even want to run > Java, and has never run Java effectively? a. Java runs effectively under Windows. b. Java middleware is designed for Windows. c. Better price / performance. d. Near equal stability. That's what I hear from Java developers, anyway. But you alluded to what may be the most important factor of all. It's very difficult to create platform independent business applications. When faced with a choice of whether to devote time to functional requirements vs. spend time on platform independence, the decision will likely be to work on functional requirements - on the platform that has the biggest market share (if you're a vendor), or the platform that you're most comfortable with (if you're an end-user). I feel a little unqualified to make these points, however. The vast majority of my development has been in RPG during the past few years. Nathan M. Andelin www.relational-data.com
