    Everything requres the JAVA Virtual Machine nowadays, or so it seems.. I Never noticed, because I did the whole 'install on demand' thing in the past.. but no, not with Windows XP </rant>

    Does anyone know how to download VM for Windows XP? (the Microsoft page says that it has discontinued VM support for XP.. or something like that... :()

    Eventually Sun Java will be the only way to go, as Sun sued MS over their VM and MS lost.

    For now, I'd recommend trying to use the MS one until they stop providing it.

    /me doesnt like the Sun version :/

    Cool, I didn't see that article... I had assumed the JVM would eventually be withdrawn. That's very good news IMO - I have the Sun JVM installed on my laptop and I hate it ... I prefer the MS one.
