Java isn't platform independent; it is a platform. Like Windows,
it is a proprietary commercial platform. That is, you can write
programs for Windows/Intel or Java/JVM, and in each case you are
writing code for a platform owned by a single corporation and
tweaked
for the commercial benefit of that corporation.

This gives Sun way too much credit. Of, for instance, the major
J2EE
platforms, how many are Sun commercial products? None.

It think that Sun is interested to sell hardware and courses instead
of selling software. I think Sun gives software at no cost for
creating demand of hardware and courses. Personally I have nothing
to
complain about that.

I think that Sun has never figured out how to make money from Java.
Their stock price supports me.
