Mac OS X Back in 2007 when Apple released Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, a much-heard criticism was the lack of support for Java 6. Leopard shipped with an older version of Java, 1.5, even though 1.6 had been released by Sun almost a year prior. Sun had already released Java 1.6 for Linux and Windows, but did not do so for Mac OS X, since Apple insists on developing their own version of Java, according to Sun. Now, 6 months later, Mac Java programmers can rejoice.

I don't think Apple has ever been all that 'enthused' about Java either way.


Look at it this way. What was the last Java client side application that you used? If you're not a Java developer, you're definitely going to try your best to stay away from anything Java related.
