I haven't played with Java under MacOS, but I've had no trouble with Java
under Windows.  It could be that I'm just not pushing the VM as hard as
you guys are, but it's more than adequate for what I'm trying to do.  More
often than not, that's just stretching a GUI skin over some command-line
tool or writing a thin client for a server-based data-manglement app.  So,
other than what's native to Swing, and what I occasionally introduce to
make the UI more responsive, I don't do a lot of multithreaded Java.

I'm using Sun's VM and SDK, not Microsoft's, in case there might be any
confusion.
