Again this is improper logic. Think about web browsers. I can write a
webpage that displays perfectly on Windows Internet Explorer and on
Macintosh's Internet Explorer, but won't display worth a crap in any other
browser because I have used all sorts of ill behaved feartures exclusive
to MS Internet Exploder.
A true test to the quality of the product is that you can write code that
works in multiple vendors Java. Not just one vendor on multiple
platforms. BTW: I'm not saying Sun's Java has this problem as I have only
ever used under GNU/Linux. Just pointing out that the reasoning doesn't
play out.
