<<Perhaps it's because Windows XP runs only with IE6.0 and IE6.0 has no java support builtin.>> IMO this alone is a big deal for SUN and others. Plus there will be many more advantages to a win over MSFT. Ron Dior

<< IE6.0 barfs >> It doesn't barf, it simply says do you want to download Java virtual machine, or something like that. You click yes and you are in business. Java is free. I see difficulty in proving damages. Dave
