    Apple had an appauling track record with Java until fairly recently, but OSX is a seriously nice platform for Java development now....at least for me :-)

    You surely must be joking... or is it the late hour that impairs my sense of the ironic? Nevertheless, I'd like to advance a disclaim: I religiously perform my hygienic duties on every morn, so I resent your mention of the odorous populace.

    What can I say to persuade you that "improved correctness" is Newspeak for "we fixed some bugs", which is more transparent but less palatable for a release note - become - press release?
