I think the future on this will be fine and secure. Mac users will be able to install JREs and JDKs pretty much the same way that Windows and Linux users do.- Sun, 17 Feb 2013 23:05:20 -0500 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 23:05:20 -0500 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 23:05:20 -0500 Feb 17, 2013 Sabre Schen 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=62150 I spent most of my adolescence years arguing in favour of the Amiga, against my wintel-fanatic classmates.

The train is already going, Adobe Flex(runtime) is ahead. Oracle shoud not undervalue role of this platform. Android will change rules of the wintel hegemony :-)

I did not try much else (yet) but it worked perfectly for this!

hence java is strategic for Mac.
