It is in Apples interest if they want to be considered in the enterprise space at all to support java.
Companies are certainly diversifying their deployed platforms, but Java is the dominant player on the server side. WebObjects is already a Java program, so there's motivation to maintain Java on their platform.
And Apples hardware is good, competitive hardware, and they offer value through their OS and management interfaces.
So, basically, if Apple want to see their servers deployed for anything beyond basic unix services, they're going to need to support Java.
And on the client side, they're driving Java developers away from the platform. Certainly not the largest chunk of their marketshare, but a lot of folks buy Macs for Java. And we Java using Mac users ARE becoming more disheartened by their slow response and lack of news. My Mac Pro will work with Solaris just fine, thanx, but I sure would rather run Leopard than Solaris.
So, Apple, Don't make me use these! [Waving Solaris DVDs around wildly]
