Although the mac-implementation of java is nice, I completly dislike their cash-for-everything method.

They release a new major every year, discontinue to release updates or new programs to older versions and you have to pay for new java releases (because you simply wont get Java-1.5 for osx-10.2).

I use Linux, but just looking to windows-xp released in oct-2001; it will be arround for 6 years - withought the need to buy any update!

Well, just my opinion...I know mac fans will kill me ;-)
