Microsoft deliberately left out RMI to cripple Java compatibility.
The transcripts from the Microsoft trial make this very plain.
RMI is not included with the IE installation. One of the eariler court
decisions that went against Microsoft required that they make RMI
available. If you look *very* carefully on Microsoft's web site, you
can find the patch to add RMI to IE.
Of course, as developers we're already screwed. We cannot count on RMI
with IE on the desktop, which was Microsoft's original aim.
This is all spelled out in detail in the recent court decision.
