    Unlike C++ (poor attempt to relate post to topic), Java is not an 
    open standard. This means that only Sun has a say so when it comes
    to additions and alterations of the language.
    MS has add a _clearly_ non-platform dependant syntax to the language.
    Using /** */ comment, it allows for DLL's to be included and their
    functions to be called.
    C++ suffers from vague interpretations of the standard, and a slue
    of different packages 'standard' to only certain operating systems.
    I would hate to see Java follow the same pitfalls as C++.
