Which list of Operating Systems does Java support ? (I need all the list of Operting Systems, which I didn't find on the Internet, please). Thanks :) > Which list of Operating Systems does Java support ? > (I need all the list of Operting Systems, which I didn't find on the > Internet, please). How hard could you have looked? One crude but effective way is to look at the download page from one or another maker of Java, and see for which platforms you can download. Here's the list for Sun's Java version, for example: <http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/index.html> to which the "ReadMe" link on the download page will lead. Then, of course, there's the Sun FAQ: <http://java.sun.com/javase/faqs.jsp> which actually includes <http://java.sun.com/javase/faqs.jsp#Platforms> which in turn links you to <http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/system-configurations.html> and all you had to do was go to Sun's Java site and follow the "ReadMe" or "FAQ" links. IBM's Java and other vendors' undoubtedly have similar links.

He wants a list of all the non-Sun Java implementations as well.

In any event, I mentioned that there were other vendors in my reply, which you have seemed to excise from your citation. I mentioned IBM specifically. Again, a brief search of the Sun site turns up <http://java.sun.com/javase/licensees.jsp> which lists the licensees. They can then search those as I suggested and find the other implementations' platforms. It's the same thing I said to do for the Sun implementation.

A more empowering response might have been to provide the information you felt was lacking, rather than chide someone else for not doing so. No worries, I've already addressed the matter in a previous post.

No worries, >I've already addressed the matter in a previous post. You were needlessly rude. I wanted to give you a mild slap across the chops. You have been behaving more and more like Andrew with his newbie hazing.

SignatureLew How populate is Java on OSs (In numbers), and does Java run on Mac computers ? (Also, what is the populations of softwares arround each OS - What is most populated OS on MAC computers ?) Thanks :) >How populate is Java Java now is the most successful language/platform (6 million developers, 3.3 billion Java devices) in the history of computing. "Stefan Ram" : > Java now is the most successful language/platform > (6 million developers, 3.3 billion Java devices) > in the history of computing. Very impressive !!! I am glade that Java is more populate then others (like .NET), and I just hope it will least a long time, since I don't want to be unemployed for years from now, because I have decided once in my life to use Java and not .NET ... And on Windows Platform (Where the home maker : .net is much populate I think) ? (I leave on Isreal which Window is the main OS survivor). I just want to get a refference to a kind of a table, that describe populations of software and platform (Intel based or Mac based), please. Thanks :) > I just want to get a refference to a kind of a table, that describe > populations of software and platform (Intel based or Mac based), please. What type of reference groups would you like to learn about? Usage on supercomputers, servers, business computers, or home computers? In the last two categories, the dominant OS is Windows XP, followed by Windows Vista, with a combined Windows total of somewhere in the mid-to-upper 90s. Mac comes in second, followed by *nix computers. [*] The first category is dominated by *nix computers in either the upper 80s or the low 90s, while the second category is the one I know the least about. I believe, however, that Windows (all combined) is not a majority of these computers. [*] By *nix I refer to pretty much anything not Windows or Mac. Predominant versions are Linux (itself a broad category) and Solaris. The most common thread connection *nix is that they are POSIX-compliant.
