(To defend my employer a little bit)... I believe no Sun official ever
"cried wolf" when Microsoft removed Java support from Windows XP. Actually,
(personal opinion) removing a 1.1.4 from the OS gives us the opportunity to
push the Java 2 platform more strongly (no more people coming to me saying
"tomcat doesn't work with Microsoft JView... THERE'S NO JVIEW ANYMORE!)
