i noticed all the other silly comments out there, but i actually beleive this may be helpfull to have an 'eliza like' engine built into my shell...
Hello.
prompt> hi, i want to play xbill
What makes you think you want to play xbill?
i just hope he has plans to speed it up, the java byte-code, however easyily portable, is very painfully slow and increadibly lossy...
maybe a c version for un*x users and let windows die on java? what's the point of sharing 600Mb files that take 3.5 days to download?
not exactly, i think they're pushing at directly translating a binary image to your archatecture... then running it, not emulating it, but re-assembling it for your processor.
the only problems i can see here are inital hardware problems like the streaming media of arm, vs the byte code of most java based chips, vs the cached contents of intel.... this could potentially get messy
i disagree, osX is an excellent step in operating systems... if apple ever supports intel they could (potentially) take the pc OS market. I'm not sure why everyone looks at OsX as if it where a revitalized version of the failed BeOS. . . the Mach kernel and bsd core are very solid (even in darwin) and the aqua interface is pretty, functional, powerfull, and goes along with the Mac ease of use scheme.
