I think it is far more important to Oracle than to Apple. Write once...run anywhere but Mac.
I doubt the average Mac user would even notice if Java was gone to be perfectly honest. I bet they would notice the lack of Flash. As soon as they find YouTube doesn't work or any number of flash games / animation sites. It is both annoying and yet kind of understandable / predictable. Java is trying to make a comeback on the Client but it just hasn't happened yet. While it is busy trying to reinvent itself and is still weak, Apple can ditch it without too many people except Java developers even noticing. Most things on web pages which used to be Applets somewhere along the line were translated to Flash. Very few Applets remain these days. Please Mr Obama Sir....feel free to intervene. I am sure there should be an amendment to the constitution regarding Life, liberty and the pursuit of running whatever software or technology you want on a Mac. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
