BEA Pushes Java VM Advantage On Windows, Linux (TechWeb)

[Posted September 10, 2002 by cook]

TechWeb reports on the release of the JRockit 7.0 Java VM from BEA Systems, which is targeted at Linux and Windows. " The problem, said Stahl, is that those three vendors have bigger priorities than optimizing Intel platforms for Java. Microsoft is pushing it's own .NET framework, Sun focuses on Solaris, and IBM has a slew of legacy platforms to support (though it arguably has done much to advance Java on Linux and Windows)."
