Java Thrown Back in Windows, For Now

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."

    Sounds like a plan. Java sucks, PHP and Perl rule. Did I mention that Java sucks? :)
