Microsoft changed the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on Windows and Sun objected to them doing this. Sun's position was that the JVM should be the same on all platforms – which is an entirely reasonable position for them to take. Microsoft didn't think so and tried to persevere with changing the JVM so Sun took them to court and won. Which was right. Microsoft then created the CLR and C# which seems fine. The problem for C# is that Microsoft marketing has put about FUD for anyone using C# on a platform other than Windows. But this has nothing to do with D! -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
