Really? Given they are not distributing it off their own site,
and had the crap sued out of them for supplying it themselves,
I find it hard to believe they (recently) felt thay had the right
to 'authorize' anyone else to distribute it.
...and MS VM is still stable, ..
Yes. Those security bugs in the 3810 build will bever be fixed.
..10x faster than Sun?s ..
Not at doing anything 'post 1.1'. ;-)
Besides - 10X? I saw some results that suggested the
MSVM was around 4-5x faster at raw int calculations,
but have lost the URL of the applet. Care to put up an
URL for testing? (I too, have access to an MSVM -
though MS sure did not authorize it).
..and there?s no
annoying auto updates...
The auto-update is configurable. It would be best to advise
users to keep it enabled so they get the latest *security*
updates, but concede it can be pretty irritating for
developers.
