MS Java Virtual Machine

[EduardValencia]

hello guys

can anyone tell me what's the latest version and where to download java virtual machine from microsoft?

I'm not sure but didn't they stop including MS JVM with XP SP1? You can always get Sun's JVM from java.sun.com which is version 1.4.2. (but the latest is 1.5.0 though it's up to you which one to use).

I'd just stick with 1.4.2.

You might be able to find a download of it somewhere by using Google. But MS stopped updating and distributing their version of java a long time ago, the last version for XP I think was included in the original XP release, but removed from SP1 onwards, Sun took them to court... you'd be better off with Sun java as it's been patched for latest security bugs, etc...

i uninstalled version 1.5.0,and well suns version is very crappy in my opinion,the latet MS java virtual machine i've heard from microsoft is 3810,there are links from Microsoft to download it

I hope you realize that trolling is almost as attractive as picking your nose. Please don't do it in public, thank you.

Sun's java has been exploited too BTW.

MsJVM was pulled in the release of sp1a.

i installed it,but WU prompted me to install a new version

what's the difference between sun's (laggy crappy java) vs (MSJVM) (apparently insecure)

I don't find Sun's JVM to be laggy/crappy at all, but that's my opinion. Just give it a go, J2SE 1.4.2. You might find that the site you're going to just requires that you verify/accept the security certificate before it proceeds.

A notification dialog usually comes up to tell you to accept the certificate (or to check it) before continuing. That's what happens with my bank's site.
