Microsoft Java Strategy
1) Drive MS Java VM and classlibs (w/Win32 extensions!) to broad installed base
a) Broadly distributed "MS Java" should address the "HTML applet" space
2) Don't encourage new, cross-platform Java classes, especially don't help get great Win32 implementations written/deployed
3) Do encourage fragmentation of the Java classlib space: multiple 2D standards, AWT vs. IFC, etc.
4) CONSIDER: Take Win32 to other platforms, esp.
a) Permits MS Java classes to be x-platform easily, still Windows-centric
b) Improves our client time-to-market for mail, IE, etc.
