Microsoft Vs. Sun Micro Might Affect Java, PC Users.(INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY)(COMPUTERS MADE PLAIN)
Byline: Lynn Walford
You may have read about Microsoft Corp.'s decision not to include Java in its new Windows XP operating system.
Is this a big deal? You've probably heard Java mentioned in the past and know it's not coffee. But if you're like many computer users, you may not be sure what it is.
Well, you're probably using Java applications without even knowing it. And decisions about Java could affect you, experts say.
Java is a programming language developed in 1991 by Sun Microsystems Inc. to run on cable set-top boxes. It was adapted in 1994 for Netscape's Web browser because it used little memory and could handle advanced Web features.
Java gives programmers a lot of flexibility, says David Harrah, a spokesman for Sun.
"Java is more than a compact programming language, it's a platform for building applications that can run on anything from a supercomputer to a cell phone," Harrah said.
