Java Thrown Back in Windows, For Now

Posted by timothy on from the refenestration dept.

They are doing this in an attempt to avoid Sun's recent lawsuit against them for anti-trust violations. I wonder if the recent decision allowing the nine states' suit to continue had anything to do with this? Of course it did. MS plans not to have the JVM in future versions of Windows though."

    Actually on some OEM (Dell) CDs MS JVM was already included.

    Yeah Windoze sux0rs. I overclocked my 900MHz Celeron to 1.2 Gigahurtz and that biatch crashes if I play even a Garth Br00ks MP3. Goddamn K0rn would make it meltdown, know what I'm sayin?

    I can boot Linuz on it and use tin to read alt.sex.stories.plushies all damn day and it don't crash for shit man.
