I agree with you about MS's lack of JNI support , however there
is on very large "Pure java" type of application that will not run
under MS's JVM and they are RMI applets and application.
The classes.zip that is shipped with IE4.x , NT 4.0 and 95/98 do not
contain
the java.rmi.* core package whic

I'm not one to normally defend Microsoft, but their JVM is a "true" JVM.
The area that they depart from the Java standard is in their choice to leave out
support for JNI (Java Native Interface). The reason they chose to do this is that JNI
specifies that Java objects can be moved around in memor
I agree it is good to see (yeah Linux), but it is also a strange comparison.
But my point was, is Micro$oft's sdk really a TRUE JVM? Didn't they buy performace
at the cost of portablity? Don't they play funny games with the low level calls
that get close to the OS?
I have no first hand knowledge
I agree. Tower J is somewhat limited in terms of full java capabilities, ie
compiles the complete application before hand. Now if the linux JVM were to
perform as well as some *other* vendor's JVM, we would all have great reason to
celebrate! Please do not misunderstand, I love linux and java.
Although this is good to see, it is hardly fair to compare a native code
compiler (a commercial one, at that) against a true JVM (which in Microsoft's
case was only slightly slower)
