We tiny system builders are in the dark. Now MSFT has settled with Sun there is no place easy to find to get the SP1's Virtual Machine I need for my XP installs. Why is this such a secret for tiny MSFT OEM System Builders? I checked their site and there were several questions about this in the last few days without a single usable answer. One MSCE tech left a URL to download the VM, but my access is denied. I don't understand it, I am a registered OEM System Builder.

I believe that Microsoft has decided not to support JAVA any longer, and plan to attempt to force everyone over to .net

In the meantime, I recommend either of the following:

Switch to SUN JAVASE runtime which is a free download from SUN, and works fine with all versions of Windows.

Or, download Microsoft Virtual Machine from one of the sites that has it posted.
I read that you can find it at www.voodoofiles.com

Sun's site was very confusing. I downloaded two incorrect Javas before I got this--the correct page--that you also supplied. I was in such need, I did find the site before checking for answers. You get points.

You can also find it in AOL7.0 CD. Run JAVAVM.exe in AOLTECH folder.
