> Neither does Java. Yet, starting from a .NET app,  you started off by
suggesting Java was automatically a better choice for reaching other OSes.

And IHMO, it most assuredly is the clear choice for maximum cross platform
maintainability. Does the phrase 'write once, run anywhere'(WORA) ring a
bell? This phrase is largely viewed with a tongue in cheek smirk by most of
the M$ crowd I'm sure. However, well defined Java applications that take
various JVM's written for various Oses into account have a much better shot
at running with little or no debug. After all, the original intention of Oak
was for mobile platforms across any system with a JVM installed.

Just my two cents.
