The Java platform is a virtual machine platform which runs on many operating systems and hardware types, and is a common platform for software to be written for.
As previously noted, the Java platform is an exception to the general rule that an operating system is a software platform.
For example, applications developed for Mac OS X and GNOME are supposed to place the most important button on the right-hand side of windows and dialogs, whereas Microsoft Windows and KDE have the opposite convention.

 exn.ca's Cars: GM shows off its look into the future
One of the more bizarre-looking offerings is the Pontiac Aztek, something GM claims is the result of fusing a trio of concepts into one vehicle: a sport sedan, a sport utility vehicle and a van.
GM claims it as "the next big step in high efficiency and environmentally clean vehicles." That's because the Triax platform would offer its would-be driver the option to choose from three different propulsion systems to get it from A to B: all-wheel-drive electric, all-wheel-drive hybrid electric or two-wheel-drive internal combustion.
As Robert Purcell, executive director of GM's Advanced Technology Vehicles, puts it, "the focus in Europe is on carbon dioxide emissions and fuel economy, so you need a clean and efficient internal combustion engine.

GM is wrong for acting against both the interests of America for the last twenty years; and, because of their constant anti-environment stance and actions all those years, also against the interests of humanity.
GM protestation that it is "working on" alternative fuel or hybrid vehicles and its correct statement that it already has some hybrid buses out there is quite irrelevant.
GM is fooling few if anyone, they have had, just like the other Detroit automakers, over 30 years to get their alternative motor and fuel act together and they have done little or nothing,

 Alpha Platform: GM To Make Midsize RWD Cars - Automobile.com Pontiac Auto News
It appears that GM has set its Australian division, Holden, to develop a midsize rear-wheel drive platform for global use, called “Alpha”, that will fit in under the Zeta vehicles and the Sigma architecture, which is exclusively used by Cadillac.
The forthcoming Alpha platform is speculated to be modular like the Epsilon, and capable of producing vehicles between 4,300 - 4,600 mm (170 and 180 inches) in length, a size more compact than any of the current Epsilon cars, though the projected 2,800 mm (110-inch) wheelbase would ensure plenty of interior room for passengers.
The report predicts the first vehicle to utilize the platform would be the successor to the Saab-based Cadillac BLS, which would give the American luxury brand a direct competitor to the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class in terms of size and drivetrain layout.

GM should be a leader in the auto industry, not the follower of the imports and even other domestics such as Ford.
The bottom line is that if GM had been run at all like it should have been, there would have been an all-new Camaro in 2003, and would also not be in a position where it has to rob from its future simply to provide for the present.
GM has made this short sighted mistake time and again, all it does is alienate faithful buyers, sending them to other brands.
