I poped over to a moo (aka MUD) site I'm programming stuff for and it told me I needed the Java virtual Macheine. How odd, I though IE6 installed that... Anyways, I clicked 'Download" on the popup and it took me to a page on the Microsoft website saying that it doesn't provide the Java Virtual Machine for XP. WTF is up with this shit? Did MS decided to ditch Java in XP or something
