Is Amber ever going to be available in a .class file? I know _nothing_
about programming in Java, but I do know that Microsoft's JVM is at least
2-3 times faster than Sun's. If I could use MS's runtime, that would be
very nice. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to understand .jar files. No,
this is not intended to start a debate about purejava vs. msjava, win32 vs.
other platforms, etc... This is simply a statement that on the Win32
platform, MS's JRE is far faster than Sun. On my PII-266Mhz w/ 128MB RAM
Amber's performance is acceptable, but the menus and a few other functions
aren't as snappy as I would like, but I imagine that after Lucent is done
implementing their list of required features this will improve. Overall, I
am VERY impressed with the quantum leap in functionality and features that
Amber makes over it's predecessor. :)
