Point missed I think... The point I am making is that the deployment of Java 6 across different platforms has not been exactly as smooth as say Java 5 which caused few issues. These things happen, such an observation is not a criticism of the technology involved. The main problem with building and deploying for the bleeding edge is you are restricting your target market to those who either have adopted the latest release, or feel that they are in a position to make the change. Many organisations and individuals take a conservative view on this kind of move.
