Why do I not have java on my pc by tomfletcherman on 07-03-2004 at 07:18 PM

Shouldn't it come with windows cos mine hasn't? And because I don't know whats the best java vm can someone please post the link to the best one?

Java vm is from Sun. So I don't see the point in adding it to Windows. Same as Windows doesn't come with Flash player... ::-/
Hm... the best one?
I would only download THE one: http://www.java.com

It is infact illegal for MS to distribute a JavaVM I think now. Anyway, since Sun wrote the language, their VM should be the best. I'd rather go with that than one from MS, which would have all its security holes exposed within a month.

Here u can get wichever Java u want (Sun or microsoft's):

http://home.wanadoo.nl/jheroen/VM/downloads.htm

Edit: note, there are still sites with java-applets that do not work/load with Sun's Java (example: yahoo's game site).

RE: Why do I not have java on my pc by RaceProUK on 07-04-2004 at 02:54 PM

Let me guess: that site was done in FrontPage... oh yes, FP6.0.

Anyway, I would still recommend going with Sun's JVM, as that will actually get updated.

Ok, and yahoo games is what reminded me to download java lol, but I'll still download sun's one because its got much more of a positive response.

yahoo games works with the SUN Java Vm.....

If there are applets that don't work, its because they do not conform to the Java standard by relying on proprietry extensions.

I think my neighbor made a version of Java what is it called? and
will he still distribute it? and...

Bullshit

Microsoft did never fully support Java. They had a Virtual Machine, but it's outdated and non-standard (as always). And how would they support Java having their own ActiveX? (:lol:)

Get your ass to http://www.java.com and download their plugin for MSIE/Moz/FF ;)
