They are indeed "evil". I just picked up this "gem".
"Also, Windows XP's default security settings in Outlook and Outlook Express
block Java applets in user inboxes, and the company has changed security
definitions to block Java applets in browsers when administrators opt for
high security settings -- the default settings for the OS.
Java, developed by long-time Microsoft rival Sun Microsystems, is a popular
platform for the creation of animation and interactive features for the Web.
Java requires the installation of a plug-in called a Java Virtual Machine
before it will run on a user's computer. The plug-in is widely available for
download on the Web and also frequently ships with Java-enabled software.
Although Java was not included with RC 1, as it has been with previous
versions of Windows, a user running RC 1 could still install a Java Virtual
Machine. In fact, according to Microsoft spokesman Tom Pilla, if a user goes
to a Web site that utilizes Java applets, Microsoft's Internet Explorer
browser will prompt the user to go to Microsoft's Windows Download page to
download Microsoft's version of the JVM. However, Windows XP's default
security settings would still block many Java applets from running."
