allows software developed for one platform to run on any other, with almost no performance hit.
Transitive Corp. of Los Gatos, California, claims its QuickTransit software allows applications to run "transparently" on multiple
hardware platforms, including Macs, PCs, and numerous servers and mainframes...

A big step forward in cross-platform computing : Comment 24 of 39 | ANN.lu |
Posted by sutro on 17-Sep-2004 13:32 GMT | In reply to Comment 20 (Fabio Alemagna): Oh My, you do not know what are you talking about do you ? I am not going to spend much time for you, explaining that "Java" and "C#" are languages while "Java" (YES, Sun simply didn't care to come up with a better name for years) and ".NET" are platforms. The Google is there, you can find all the information you need about the why Sun declined several times to "ECMA-standardize" Java even though they considered from 1997 onwards, I am not going to do that for you. The bottomline is that the decision has not hurt the Java platform at all, except in those meaningless flame posts and discussions.
You made some comments that I need not and should not answer. More important issues and differences between the two platforms have been discussed elsewhere. End it here. ANN is for Amiga related flames only (?). |
