My understanding is that... (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Virtual Machine (VM) is Microsoft's own version of java, used prior to Windows
XP. Then Microsoft got into a squabble with Sun Microsystems. Now... Windows XP
has no java, and attempts to replace it with "ActiveX". If you want true java
for Windows XP, download it from Sun Microsystems - which reportedly works OK,
but I haven't tried it.
