Because it is movement in the wrong direction.  Obviously, calls
relative to a system can not be made.  Potential, however, is there.
Cell phones, pagers, televisions.... Why dilute the language with
specific keywords now and just ruin any chance at portability.  A
program like the NetBeans IDE is a prime example.  1 program can be used
in Solaris, Mac, Linux, NT.  J++ is merely microsofts attempt to ruin
cross platform java. Maybe it's a great program with a clean, sensible
environment, but it doesn't change the fact that it was developed to
dilute java.

I believe this is an interesting conversation, worthy of continuing.  I
will post a new thread on it soon.
