About Java technology

Java technology is a groundbreaking computing platform released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. Originally called OAK, it was renamed as the Java programming language in 1995. Java technology opens up a wealth of exciting possibilities for consumers. It enables just about any application -- including games, tools, and information programs and services -- to run on just about any computer or device. From desktop PCs to mobile handheld devices and cell phones, Java technology today is just about everywhere. If you don't already have it, get it now and start enjoying the best digital experience around.

Java allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D, just to name a few. It's also integral to the intranet applications and other e-business solutions that are the foundation of corporate computing.
