Ok, well most of the buisness apps we use at my job are Java based. We access our AS/400's throgh telnet sessions, we use JD Edwards, which runs as java both on the AS/400 and on the workstation, we use another application that tracks some shipping stuff, all in java. Pretty much the only applications we use that isn't java is office.

As for processors breaking down instructions, AMD and Intil processors do break them down. They are fed CISC instructions, and the processors break them down.
