Totally false FUD.

Sun sued Mickeysoft for breaking its contractual Java license; not necessarily because of what they did ship (i.e. proprietary libraries) but for what they didn't ship (JNI, RMI). If you're a McDonald's franchisee and you sell a hot dog as a "Big Mac" you'll be sued out of business real quick. Because the evidence was overwhelmingly in Sun's side (and a judge issued an injuction saying as much), they both settled out of court, with MS agreeing to give up its license. HOWEVER, it was allowed a number of YEARS of maintenance to continue to offer its obsolete Java 1.1.4 VM.

MS themselves chose to discontinue shipping its VM beginning in WXP/IE6.
