"Let me also be crystal clear on this point: Java has made the jump to
64-bit unlike a number of other frameworks on Mac OS X. Let's focus on
technical issues here, and leave the speculation for the rumor sites."
- Mike Swingler
There isn't a problem with Java being 64-bit. The problem is that G5
PPC is 64-bit, and there's no Java for it. For most servers,
particularly the typical internet server, a dual G5 is *more than
adequate*. To force who knows how many outfits to replace prefectly
adequate hardware just to be able to run some Java6 apps is besides
the point.
What is even more of a riddle, why Apple even bothered ever doing any
non 64-bit intel systems. It was just a matter of a couple of months
delay in the introduction of intel machines, and it would have saved
them the whole 64-bit transition on the intel side.
