Hi,	

i've posted a few enquiries regarding "new to java" but please tell me what
do most people use java for ? as opposed to c or c++, because can't you do
in c++ what can be done in java, i.e OOP, and applets, or is it the jvm
(java virtual machine) that the main benifit is with java, making it
portable over a wide range of operating systems ?

my reason is the portabililty between platforms and the advantage of
writing applets for the web.

furthermore does java have less instructions than c++, if so does this make
java less powerfull or less programmable.. also with java are you further
away from the computer, 


can java be used for writing say a database application with a windows
frontend using the GUI and lastly can you include an inline assembler ?

thanks

William Barker,
