Hi..
I had a question about java porting. I have heard about IBM porting java to
WIN31.
Why does IBM port java to WIN31? Isn't this job due to Microsoft?
Thanks

I'd say that it is a job caused by giving in to Microsuck and because corporate sales
of Windows 95 is slower than molasses in January... Of course, I personally think
that the real question is "Why _is_ IBM porting Java to Windows 3.1?" since everyone
knows that Win3.1 is lousy at threading since it is not a multi-threaded environment.
Microsoft won't do the porting because its pushing Windows NT and Windows 95 and not
Windows 3.1x.
