What? I'm not sure that's necessarily the case. Microsoft has been
actively trying to cripple the Java environment for years, it can be said
they never supported it.
Installing the JVM runtime on a system is trivial, and every machine I
know of (including Windows XP) allows a very brief "You need the java
plugin to run this application, click here to get it".
The JVM plugin for browsers is no more or less involved than running
Shockwave or Adobe Acrobat or any of the other external plugins.
