System.currentTimeMillis() doesn't update quick enough!!!! 

Try this loop at NT and Win95 and see for your self.

while(true) {
   System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis());
}

We are currently workin on a commersial game in Java 2. In games timing is EVERYTHING.
If this bug isn't corrected soon we must change to some native language like C or C++
and we don't want to do that.......
