Brian,

The bytecodes do not change ... the APIs change ... the VM has
not changed in a long time ... it's the same set of bytecodes
that it has been since 1996 ...

I don't dispute that ... BTW I used to work for JavaSoft at
Sunny Micro ...

Just FYI I have seen working multiplexors that run Ajile
and interface sixteen serial ports connected to industrial
equipment. This is not a toy ... yes they are not comparable
but for headless low part count things they have potential.

Also the hotspot is not new ... I was introduced to that
eons ago ... what's new is the implemention on that
particular processor ...

Can you elaborate? I am considering playing with X-Scale.
Aren't they IN products already like iPAQ and others?
What are the bugs? Where can I read about that?

Thanks,
Doug
