Java is platform independant, C++ and Visual Basic are not.

Java is more object oriented than C++ or VB.

Java doesn't have pointers so it is harder to shoot yourself in the foot.

Java doesn't allow multiple inheritance. It has built-in support for code synchronization and LOTS of cool library support that you won't find in C++.

Yes, Thank You Thomas!
