Write once, run anywhere

Apple finally released Java 6 for Mac OS X, about a year late, and it only runs on 64-bit Intel Macs. It also requires Leopard, which isn’t such a big deal because anyone can upgrade. I sold my G5 but a lot of people out there still use PowerPC Macs and I guess they’re just screwed. It’s a shame too because Java 6 is the first release that’s starting to approach true usability for desktop applications.
