Oh boy. VM's are mentioned and people immediately start screaming about how slow they are...
That's just a load of crap! Java nor .NET are truly slow.
If you want an example, just try http://www.map24.com . This stuff is a Java applet, in 3D and with live data from the net. You can hardly say that this is slow!
Integration with the OS gets better every release. Specially .Net does a good job (at least on the windows platform). There really is no difference from running a native or vm application there.
