You need a Java Virtual Machine (VM) for your
browser if you want to run Java applets, such
as a search engine on this CD.
Java VM provides a standard runtime environment
to run Java programs safely. A Java program (such
as a Java applet) should be able to run on any
computer provided a VM is available. We strongly
recomend that you install
the Java plugin supplied with this CD and enable
it to take advantage of the highlight feature
in the search engine.
Why does Microsoft not supply its own Java VM?
Microsoft's page on VM Availability says that
their legal agreement with Sun means that they
cannot provide their Java VM as a download. However,
you can update an installed Microsoft Java VM
at Windows Update. In addition, the Windows XP
Service Pack 1 CD includes the Microsoft Java
VM, though it is not included in the downloadable
version of the service pack.
However, software developers who use Microsoft
Java development tools can supply the Microsoft
Java VM "in conjunction with" or "as
a part of" their software products.
