Steve doesn’t get that java developers, accustomed to the transparency of OSS, will not stand for the way apple does business. Even though it appears that apple is supporting Java, the secrecy is making developers give up.

As for me - I got burned buying the very very last PPC 12″ powerbook. A week after I had parted with my cash, I regretted it.

However, all work here in Canberra is Java 1.4.2 or 5, so not having java 6 is not a huge deal.

Java is Dead on MacOS X, all my companies customers have to switch to another platform to take advantage of the new features in my companies business system, and yes its an auto-platform-install on all OS except MacOS X, which doesnt have Java 1.6. The Business System I work on upgrades every 3 months. So a over 10 months delay => 3 upgrades with plenty on new features like mailing, better support pages, desktop intergration, warningflag in systemtray, etc… almost all of Java 1.6 new features is used to improve the usability of the system.
