Re: [abcusers] Free notation program for Windows - let's write it ...

I dug around a bit more late last evening.  I'm not sure that I understand 
all that I know about this.  It seems that VM may sort of go away come the 
first of the year.  For more 'enlightnment', see:

http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/

and

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/evaluation/news/jre.asp

It would seem that peaceful co-existence of VM and JRE would be the prudent 
route.

Regards,
Don

found an answer.
Microsoft's VM is not 100% compatible with the one from Sun. I strongly 
suggest using the latter. Or maybe you should try the one from MS and let 
us know whether it works or not... ;-)
Been there, done that, installed the Sun JRE! Some stuff (my online 
banking for one) just won't work with the MS VM, and just about any 
serious browsing with Opera requires the Sun JRE.

The two VMs do seem to co-exist quite happily though, and the machine 
seems to quite happily decide whether it's going to use the MS VM or the 
Sun one.

All IME, YMMV of course ...
