I just received a new computer and it doesn't appear that there is any JVM

JRE. This to me is very scary for the future of Java. I would guess that the
majority of people on the internet would not have the knowledge or would be
uncomfortable executing install programs off the Internet.
The short answer is yes.
The long answer is yes, but you can go to Java.com, Sun's consumer Java
website, and download browser plugins, which also will install the latest JRE.
And it's pretty effin' simple to do. :) Especially since the major browsers
have functionality that will pop up a message saying "you need to download
the plugin, click here to get it" in many cases.
