I agree that Micro$oft is more universal for Micro$oft products...
but the major benefit of Java is that it is an application/platform
independant environment. Programs in Java are UNIVERSAL across all
platforms, and it will be possible to integrate Java applications in the
runtime environment into C++ and C code. Of course, this is where
complexity begins to become an issue, but I think the payoffs are well
worth the effort.
