But it says i need to update my windows to do this (which i assumes means upgrade to sp1), but I cant since... well my windows copy is sorta not too legal :\ I know i shuldnt be complaining but I am just curious if anyone knows how to circumvent this so I can install this java software on my computer?>

Any help is appreciated, thanks (and dont call microsoft plz 😛)
 
if you need JVM and don't want SP1 then just search for it using google.

That is what I did, because MS isn't hosting it anymore.

try here linky

 
It never worked right for me or others that I know.

Besides since it's a MS OS he should run an MS approved program.
 
When the Sun lawsuit against MS is over, and if Sun wins it will be funny to see
Windows bundled with Sun JRE!!

Then we'll see whos buggy....
MS has the tendency to take a language and modified so much that it gets almost imcompatible with the
original...just look at MS implementation of the C++ STL....

 
Microsofts VM is buggy, not Suns. Microsoft is the one who's still using Java 1.1 with special microsoft only extensions on top of it. Sun's at java 1.4...a much improved language from the 1.1 days (from what I can gather)

Sun's VM is the only one I use. Its their language after all 🙂
 
Speaking as a developer, Sun's Java Plug-in is more up-to-date (Java 1.4) than Microsoft's (Java 1.1). Nevertheless, since Microsoft decided a long time ago to add their own proprietary classes to their Java implementation, many websites run applets specifically tailored to the Microsoft VM when they detect an IE browser. If these applets use the MS proprietary classes, they will not work when a user is running the Java plug-in. Its difficult to call one VM better than another, as Microsoft's is faster to load and works well with applets designed with it in mind, but Sun's uses the latest and greatest Java technology. One things for certain ... XP clients forced to use the Sun Java Plug-in has made life a lot harder for web programmers. 🙂
 
I'm not advocating piracy but at least this guy has the integrity (in this sense) to be honest about it.

There's a lot of people on this board who act really self-righteous, and they too use illegal software. I respect this guy for at least admitting his guilt.

Who among us has never been a thief in one way or another?
