Granted... though most languages have support for multi-threading. I routinely use Posix and native Win32 threads in all my cross-platform apps myself. Good read - I wasn't aware of that... but I'm failing to see why it makes Java a "better" choice when you can just as easily have cross-platform C/C++ apps with high-performance.

Its "just" a little diffrent. But porting is for sure far more easy, and we dont have to stick with windows...
I'm fully with you there - variety is definately good, and portability is better. I personally wouldn't use java if I were writing an emu or game, but I certainly won't belittle anyone for trying.
