== Comparing C++ and Java is not that easy ==
Please take care not to mingle Java and the JVM. Java is a programming language, the JVM a hosting architecture. C++ is a programming language, the x86 a hosting architecture. One might just as well decide to compile Java source code for the x86 or C++ code for the JVM. It is in general wrong to state "Java is slower than C++" instead of "A Java program on some JVM on some architecture is slower than a semantically equivalent C++ program run on the same machine."
==Sun vs Microsoft Windows==
This also belongs in the Criticism of Java article, but it should be noted that the lawsuit Sun brought against Microsoft hurt the consumer. Since the Microsoft VM no longer ships with Windows XP (or can be downloaded), any page that contains a Java applet will be frozen for up to 3min on slow systems while the JRE loads, This has not changed with , and is a significant detriment. There are some advantages to having a VM built into the OS's structure. [[User:LaVieEntiere|LaVieEntiere]] 16:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
