Re: Windows XP with no JVM?

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

embedded on the Internet will cease to function unless someone installs a
JRE.

If the applet deployer has any snese, they might
use one of the following methods to ensure that
either a suitable JVM is installed, or the user is
prompted to download it, or the user is (at the
very least) informed why there is a blank space on
the web page.

The methods are..
- use the applet element with appropriate alt and
'no java' attributes
- use the nested object/embed element that does
Java versioning
- deploy the applet uising webstart (which can also
do Java versioning/prompt for installation)

...This to me is very scary for the future of Java.

Wow! You are *way* behind the times! JVM's began
disappearing from IE around 8(?) years ago!
