Big tactical mistake?

Microsoft drops Java from IE for Mac,
Unix

Macintosh and Unix users will have to look for Web browsing software somewhere
besides Microsoft's Internet Explorer to run Java programs.

As a result of a federal judge's ruling against Microsoft this week, the firm will strip a
critical Java technology out of the Internet Explorer (IE) Web browser for Apple Computer's
Macintosh operating system and the Unix system, a letter sent to IE licensees said today.

Microsoft will remove its Java virtual machine, which allows a computer to understand and
run Java programs. Web browsers such as Internet Explorer can call on the virtual
machines to run Java "applets" downloaded over the Web.
