Johnny;
Microsoft is removing Microsoft Virtual Machine from its websites and
stopping distribution because of a court order:
http://www.microsoft.com/java/
http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/VM.htm

You can download Microsoft Virtual Machine from here:
http://www.biologylab.awlonline.com/ms_javavm.php

You can download Sun Java here:
http://java.sun.com/getjava/


And a tip from Michel Gallant (MVP Security):

Anyone downloading these VM installers should make sure that they
are authentic versions, as originally distributed by Microsoft.
I am not questioning the integrity of the files on these sites, but
only
making a suggestion about due-diligence security wise.

You should verify the digital signature on these files:
Right Click | Properties | Digital Signatures ..
