Default Java and C++ facts

Okay alot of people don't know what to choose or what the differnce is between Java and C++. I'm gonna try and list all the Pros and Cons I can so people know what they really want to choose when it comes to programming.

Java
Pros: -It is basicly a simpiler C++.
-It use portable applets, so any program you make does not have to be download, you just upload the applet on the web page.
-More basic, more easy to use. May help you with C++
-Leaks all garbage and bad code.

Cons: - uses a virtual machine to run apps so apps are slower then regular compilers.
-Since it does not use machine code, programs will lag
-Does not support amazing graphics
-Since it runs on a web page there may be critical errors on the web page, internet, computer causing a chrash.
-Uses C++s more advanced features in simpler code but not as powerful nor does it have everything C++ has.

C++
Pros: -Handles much larger programs and projects
- Supports imported GFX,Direct X, Sounds with DLLs'
-Uses CVS to organize everything, usefull for big game projects
-Uses native machine code(compiles into binary code)
-Much more freedom and features.
-All libaryes in C++ remove the hassel of detail

Cons: -Advanced code that takes time to learn
-Complex syntax lends itself to abuse
-Does not support APPs so must down load but much more organized and will not lag.
-Takes time, for each differnt level you make in C++ must me a source code, and many other files.
