Actually, to tell you frankly even I often find myself in this situation. Sometimes I don't have a JVM, sometimes I don't have perl.

That's also the very reason why I bought a PC, installed GNU/Linux, ... and now installing a JVM!
Sounds so familiar ... lets try putting this in a different language:
Hacker: I developed my code on the Windows platform because everyone seems to be using it anyway.
Webdesigner: This sight is best viewed in IE version so-and-so because I developed it in IE version so-and-so because ... (you guessed it) everyone seems to be using it anyway.
User: I use Windows because there are so many more apps available on it, I don't mind paying for the licenses ... besides, (yes, right again) everyone else seems to be using it anyway!
Sameer.
