It's pretty rare in my experience, but Windows Server 2003 does this, if you want. You could run previous versions of Windows (NT, 2000) without video cards, using the "embedded" toolkit. But since most people just buy servers from Dell, etc, they all come with built-in video, so people don't bother. > Personally, that's one of my pet peevs with Java in general. > I've always wished that Java would "bake in" something like > GD (PHP and Perl do > this) for it's image manipulation - that way, it wouldn't be > dependent on it's platform OS for it's image manipulation > functionality.
