""First off, the non-disclosure agreement covered everything confidential said or written over the next two years on the product, and had a duration of five years, during which anything published or used in marketing would have to receive written approval from AMD before it could be used. Worse, at the end of the five years, all copies of the information made would have to be returned to the chipmaker."

A Java CMS would probably not use Java as in Java Applets, but just Java as server-side environment (you might've come across sites with pages having a *.jsp extension, whell, those are probably Java and you didn't even notice ;-)). Java is very well suited for server-side programming, and the percieved 'slowness' of Java is (in my opinion) more due to the GUI-libraries in java (AWT, Swing) than the language itself.
