IBM will embed Java in Merlin, its forthcoming version of OS/2 Warp, as well as other platforms. Unless they have redefined the word 'embed' recently, the above fragment suggests that Sun, SGI, and IBM have all gone stark, raving mad and they are planning to make their OS kernels into Java interpreters. >Will you also be integrating Java with FreeBSD just >like everybody else? I hope the FreeBSD folks are smarter than that. -- Rahul Dhesi <dhesi@rahul.net> "please ignore Dhesi" -- Mark Crispin <mrc@CAC.Washington.EDU>
