Re: [H] Microsoft VM

[dhs]

Francisco,
Thanks for the link.  But, I've BTDT. There is nothing there to dl and possibly 
get MS's version of VM working.  Or, I just did not see it.  Like I can not 
decode 
most of the "titles" to figure out what's what.
It seems that MS would much rather not be involved at my OS choice.  
No harm, no foul. ... Just odd.
Thanks again,
Duncan

Yeah, IE 6 was not included in W2K, you have to upgrade. Just visit Microsoft.com and visit their IE page.Google yields the following:

Yep.  MS stopped distributing their own JAVA after that lawsuit thingie.  

It was around for a while, but one of the updates does take it out these
days I think??

Just use Sun's Java.  :)

Did you know that VMware now has a freeware VM player that plays both 
MSFT & VMware VMs?   Also 
they have prebuilt VM machines in various distros that are also 
freeware such as Browser Appliance Virtual Machine 
 for better security 
while browsing.

[H] Microsoft VM

[dhs]

Somehow during my re-install of W2Ksp4 and all the remaining critical updates, 
I find that the 
Microsoft VM (virtual machine) of the IE6.0 browser is missing.  Is this normal?

If not, is there a dl link to recover it?  Will a repair install for IE6.0 
bring it back?
There are web sites I visit where "some sort of Java" is needed to do business.

I do realize that many feel the MS VM and Sun Java can be a security hole, but 
at this 
point, I'm just trying to either get the MS VM back, or, try the Sun JRE.
Things like banking and info retrieval are a major part of life for me online.

I am aware of past skirmishs 'tween Sun and MS regarding Java code issues.
Opinions of the Sun Microsystem JRE for Windows (~16MB)?

General opinions/ideas?

Thank you,
Duncan
