I like C++, I like its power. I like its speed. I like the free it gives me.
I don't like Java, It hides more details.
What about you?

how can you say java hides details???
i think java is more flexible as compared to c++
as java is completely object oriented, everything in java is done under the classes...
so java is best as far as obect oriented programming is concerned

In my opinion, Java and C++ both hide details, because they implement OOP, and OOP encapsulates meaning hiding details :)
most of what you can do in Java in language context, you can do it also in c++, but not the otherwise, because Java language is more strict, like you cannot do multiple inheritance,etc

I hate java just because the end product is slow since it is byte compiled. Programs written is C++ is much faster. So i prefer C++.

I prefer C++, too. It can be a bit messy indeed, but it let you do really whatever you want/need.
Java has good points too, but i think they can't be compared, they fit for different needs

C++ is really powerful and fast. a typical program taking abt half seconds in c++ takes abt 1.5 seconds in java. java hides details but that is the point that increases enterprise productivity in java. c++ is good for "bare metal" programming. perl which is called the swiss army knife of programming languages is written in c, after all. c++ however, is not so secure and instances of memory leaks are rare in java. c++ needs and allows deeper level of programming. java is designed for network. also java handles files better than other languages, especially while closing streams. moreover, java works wonderfully for server software.
