msjvm
"Mohammadreza DN" wrote in message ... what is msjvm and what is it's function? --------- MicroSoft Java Virtual Machine. It is an extension to Internet Explorer that allows Sites that use Java scripting to work. Only early versions of Windows XP were supplied with MSJVM. Later versions are not following the row between Microsoft and Sun microsystems (which Microsoft lost). If you need a Java Virtual Machine today you have to obtain it elsewhere (like from Sun). Microsoft's agenda is to exterminate Java from the face of the earth, a policy that is actually ensuring ats adoption. Microsoft prefers sites to use it own ActiveX scripting which is notoriously dangerous. |

Due to a lawsuit, Microsoft had to stop making this and including it with their operating systems many years ago, so any MSJVM is, by this time, hopelessly obsolete.

The lawsuit didn't stop Microsoft supplying a JVM with their browsers. What the lawsuit stopped was Microsoft altering the Java scripting language so that it would only work wih their own Internet Exporer. Since the Java scripting language was fixed equally long ago (the idea was that it would work on *any* platform), Microsoft's JVM is as good today as its always been. |

MS cannot ship their proprietary JVM, so they withdrew it, stopped shipping it, stopped working on it. They even pulled the older OSs that contained it from MSDN. Since the Java scripting language was fixed equally long ago (the idea was that it would work on *any* platform), Microsoft's JVM is as good today as its always been. Well, no. Sun has released numerous updates since the last MS JVM came out. Any applet written with Java 2.5 or 2.6, and maybe even 2.4 (I'm not sure which version the MS JVM implemented) won't work with the MS JVM. -- Tim Slattery http://members.cox.net/slatteryt |

MS cannot ship their proprietary JVM, so they withdrew it, stopped shipping it, stopped working on it. They even pulled the older OSs that contained it from MSDN. Microsoft are as entitled to ship a jvm with their products as anyone else is. Microsoft cannot ship the jvm that they developed because it was enhanced over the original spec. Microsoft could produce a compliant one, but decided instead to try and drive Jaca from the Internet (somewhat unsccuessfully thus far).

I have not found a web site so far that does not work with MS JVM. |
