- Tichy 19y agoI know about "Write Once", but it seems too much to expect support for every conceivable computing device anyway. I suspect that Apple did not want to provide Sun to provide the JVM for Apple, though? Otherwise I don't know why Sun wouldn't provide it themselves. Edit: only just saw that somebody else said exactly that, Apple wanted to do it for themselves.
- Elfan 19y ago"Lots of folks ask "why doesn't sun just do the JDK for Mac?". The real answer is "because Apple wanted to do it". They've wanted to do all sorts of customization and integration that only they could do - because they own the OS." http://blogs.sun.com/jag/entry/solaris_and_os_x_continued http://blogs.sun.com/jag/entry/solaris_and_os_x_continued
