At the risk of starting a flame war, yes Java is universal. It works
universally badly on every machine I've seen. The days of a lingua
franca for computers are not yet here, I think. And with microsoft
inventing their own extensions and protocols it's not likely to BE upon
us any time soon.

lengthy rant about microsoft and spammers and so forth deleted.
