Peter Crowther <Peter.Crowther at melandra.com> pointed out
that Sun's Java CM runs under Windows 2k.
I should also point out that IBM are pushing the Java wagon pretty hard,
including such things as
- distributing a free Java compiler (Jikes, lots of ugly C++)
- having their own Java for Windows (IBM Visual Age for Java)
- plugging Java in their DeveloperWorks stuff
- giving away free 2-CD "developerWorks toolbox for e-business" kits
to anyone who asks (I have a set) with VA Java and a ton of stuff in
Java.
- providing free Java goodies on their developerWorks web site
Microsoft burned IBM's fingers over OS/2; I don't think IBM will forget
that in a hurry. (Come to think of it, I'm *sure* they haven't forgotten:
they're also pushing Linux...)
