Java Sun sucks, get the real java :

Click here to download Microsoft Virtual Machine version 5.00.3805.

Note: Versions 5.00.3809 & 5.00.3810 are Security Fixes for version 5.00.3805.

Download and Install version 5.00.3805 (full version) first before installing the upgrade(s).

Click here to download Microsoft Virtual Machine version 5.00.3809.

Click here to download Microsoft Virtual Machine version 5.00.3810.

Java is bloated. However, M$ virtual machine will soon become obsolete.

Sorry for sounding dumb but can someone explain the difference? :)

You can get Java™ 2 Runtime Environment here.

The only difference I know is that M$ got sued bigtime over their version of it. They have already started the process of no longer making it available for download, etc. That was some time ago.

I don't know all the full details but to put it plain. Litigation.

just do what peat said.
