Ares FTW. There's something nifty about being able to check the source of a p2p tool.

:-/ why on earth would it come with java?


RE: Does Vista comes with Java? by joey on 06-16-2007 at 09:57 AM

i dunno. =p why wouldn't it?


RE: Does Vista comes with Java? by Volv on 06-16-2007 at 10:06 AM

Because Java isn't related to Windows or Microsoft?

There isn't much need to preinstall Java. Software that requires it can usually be distributed with it, and if you're getting software from the web, there's little difficulty downloading the JVM from sun.com.

I presume that, also, it's code MS don't want to be held liable for, as they would for distributing it. That's rather a moot point though.

Didn't Windows XP have a Microsoft runtime environment for Java?
