MSJVM - Microsoft Java Virtual Machine.

Thank you, David, for your help. One more question:

What can Sun Java do that MsJVM cannot do? Is there any compelling reason
why I should install the 200 MB Sun Java program?

Microsoft licensed Sun Java technology from Sun Microsystems.
Micropsoft in their G-d complex thought they would "improve" Java and modified it. This was
a violation of the license agreement between the two companies. Sun sued Microsoft and won.
Microsoft is barred from deploying MSJVM any more and could only release security fixes.

I won't get into specifics but Java is an operating system (virual machine) within an
operating system. The objective is to cross various different operating systems. A Java
Applet on a MAC will run the same on Windows or any other OS that supports Java.

In conclusion, Muicrosoft is no longer a player in Java. Sun is the only player and much
content depends upon Java.

You must be confused...The Sun Java Runtime that I have is only
16 MB. Make sure you download the right one.

Do you even have any application/go to any site that *requires* a Java
runtime?
