WinXP & Java Question

[GTaudiophile]

Micro$oft recently announced that they would not include Java in WinXP and future versions of IE, thus giving more breathing room to M$'s own ActiveX.

I run a small, personal, no-frills web site that uses Java-Script for its menus. I know the Java Virtual Machine will be available for WinXP users to download, but I bet the average, home-user will not be knowledgeable enough to do this. As IE 6.0 and WinXP become more popular, would I be wise to remove the Java-Script-based content from my site so that it will still be accessible by a broad-range of Internet users?

As far as I understood, Java is the one being removed, not JavaScript. Microsoft still needs JavaScript/VBScript for DHTML and other fancy web stuff.

In other words, my guess is that you're safe with your JavaScript-based content.
