Microsoft removed all download links to their Virtual Machine.

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

The only place now to get VM is if you get SP1 (not SP1a). Your alternative is to use Sun's Java.

I still have the VM installer on my hdd (taken from SP1) if need be, but i have no where to upload it....its 5mb, if it's illegal to distribute this, then i shall refrain from doing so.

Edit: VM and updates wont appear on WU if VM isnt installed....i suppose you could get the VM security update, which i THINK installed VM but am not 100% sure

http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html - that is for just getting the java runtime (so you can see java stuff on the net)

if you want to program with java:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html

Actually that second link has both the JRE (for running java stuff) and the SDK (for programming). The SDK comes with the JRE as well.

Yes it is its 5.1mb in size and comes under the guise of A security update

WU lists it as below.........

810030: Microsoft VM security update ( post date: March 11, 2003 ) 5.1mb

Do a google search for "msjavx86.exe", it should yield more than a few results. This is the FULL distribution version - 5.0.3805. The VM component available on the Windows Update site is just that -- an update, NOT the full version. You'll have to d/l and install the full package and then install the update over the top.

    • Sony unveils its first fight stick 'Project Defiant', supports PC and PS5 by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe In a surprise twist, Sony announced a new piece of hardware at its State of Play presentation today. Currently going by the codename Project Defiant, it is Sony's first attempt at making a fight stick. Considering the company is currently partnered with Marvel to make a first-party fighting game featuring heroes and villains from the popular comic universe, this seems to be the right time to unveil the project. As seen in the teaser trailer above, the wireless fight stick follows the modern black and white PlayStation hardware style of the consoles and standard gamepad controllers. The controller will ship with a toolless design for changing the restrictor gates, with square, circle, and octagon options incoming for the stick. Meanwhile, the buttons are confirmed to have mechanical switches. Plus, a dedicated touchpad, much like on the DualSense controller, is available on the top of the fight stick. "It’s built in a sturdy, ergonomic design for a comfortable feel during intense fight sessions," adds the company. Sony is leveraging its PlayStation Link technology in the device. With it, the company is promising ultra-low latency wireless connectivity, making sure it provides players "precise in-game response to each button press and digital stick movement." Interestingly, PlayStation Link is Sony's proprietary wireless connectivity standard designed for PlayStation 5's audio transmissions, which is now being used a little differently for this piece of hardware. The controller has built-in storage for holding both the restrictor gates and the PS Link USB adapter. As expected, a wired connection is also possible, with a USB-C port available on the device for connecting to a PlayStation 5 or PC. To make sure the device remains in good condition during travel, Sony is throwing in a sturdy sling carry case with each Project Defiant fight stick. More details, like the official name, internal hardware, release date, and most importantly, price, will be revealed later. The hardware has a 2026 launch window right now.
    • Precisely. I didn't give Reddit permission to sell my posts to any AI vendor from any of my accounts. Since I've been on Reddit since before the current pseudo-AI existed, I don't think anyone did...
    • The character tech looks awful, like something from 10 years ago.
    • lol net-negative? They're worth $29 billion, so they aren't hurting. They're just money hungry and don't care at all about the free videos on their platform. They shouldn't be making money off of those, but they are. Those content creators that are uploading their videos they made aren't making anything, but YouTube is making tons of money off of them, along with being exorbitant. If they want to do what they did before and lock Premium videos in a paywall, then fine. But no one is going to put up with them strong-arming people into paying just to have an ad-free experience while watching super old videos uploaded by John Doe at 360p.
