The main selling point for Java is that it will run on several operating systems. It accomplishes this by running programs through the JVM (Java Virtual Machine).
Java programs can run on Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems. It's also the foundation for Google's Android operating system, which is used on many mobile devices.
