Very well put!
What you say should be a great "eye-opener" for the
people that still think they can "hit the metal" with the s/w for the
performance gain, killing the portability, and the maintainability as
well, in case of a failure, as you mention above.
BTW has anybody here looked at Java Programmers FAQ?

2.5 Portability
"The biggest value of Java technology is its portability"
That's another good one!
Best regards
