A serious Java app "must" have native threads if:
a) It must use SMP (and the box it's running on has it),
b) It wasn't written well to deal with all threading models (for example,
non-preemptive threads) found under Java.
Since all serious applications are well written :-), perhaps Scott's
objection might be more appropriately limited to SMP environments.
