Well, Microsoft got sued by Sun about it, although that doesn't make it illegal...

I have a check scanner running some specialised software that still requires the MS JVM. PITA!!!!!

Honestly, the MS JVM was better than the sun version... except for the fact that it wasn't compatible with anything else.

The whole employee billing system of my 40k+ employee company requires the MS JVM. My weekly support tickets about Firefox incompatibility are typically met with "use IE".

No.  Absolutely not.  You cant.  Not unless your computer is at least 10 years old.

besides my new good comp, i have an OLD custom home made comp (OLD) that is still running IE 4. its not supper fast but unlike all my newer comps witch at some time or another have crasher or frozen, the old one has never given me a problem, never even frozen up, I'm running it on a 6MB LAN. it took some time to get it compatible with anything other than Dial up lol. i love to play with the old comps, with some work i find they can be Reilly good.
