Just a side note on game side. At the recent E3 conference a month ago, a company has a product in the works that using its own graphical type programming language specially deigned for 3d games, and can be converted to PC, Mac OS X, PS2, X-box, and the Cube very easily. Which will considerably cut cost and make their product more widely available.
Have you ever taken a look at the Microsoft developer kit. The tools you need to produce commercial products is in the thousands.

I am also 95% sure that the new language your talking about is a set of new java instructions specifically designed for games.
