Stop blaming Microsoft for Sun's Java woes | |
|

I was surprised the first time that I tried a site that required Java in Windows XP and was told that I needed to download the Java VM. The removal of JVM was Microsoft's first step in transitioning Windows users away from a built-in (or, to use a loaded word, "integrated") Java VM. At first I thought this might be a serious problem--yet more evidence of Microsoft's "lack of support for Java." It turns out there are a few mitigating factors. First, OEMs pre-installing Windows XP or corporations doing scripted installs have the option of pre-installing the Microsoft VM. I suspect that most of them do this, and I know from personal experience that Dell does. Plus, you only have to download the Microsoft VM once and then it works. But enough was enough for Microsoft, who must have been getting enough heat from knee-jerk reactions like mine. Microsoft just announced that it will put the VM back into Windows by default (via SP1), although they will begin to remove it starting in 2004. | ||
