Martin,

I'm not sure I get your drift. I do mostly Java myself, but on every 
system except MacOS one must install the Java SDK or runtime 
separately. I doubt Sun likes that state of affairs and as a Java 
developer, neither do I, but it's how things are right now.

Microsoft dispensed with Java because it's in a legal and market battle 
with Sun. The JVM it was shipping was horridly out-of-date anyway and 
not useful for serious Java application developers.

Anyway, in this thread we're talking about licensing terms and privacy, 
not OS quality.
