Hi Christophe,

If people still want the Microsoft Virtual Java Machine that was "removed", it
is easily attainable on the internet.

I find the Sun release of Java to be slow, and bogs down even a 2Ghz machine.

Run two identical computers side by side and have one use the Sun release and
the other use the MS release, and the MS release wins hands down.

So far I am not losing out on anything. I have Java installed, and I don't have
any concerns. Lawyers can file all the papers they want, I am still going to use
the free software I want to use.. _no one_ can tell me differently.

Peter
