Quicker? Maybe, maybe not. I have no data. However, the MS one is _not_ a decent JVM, as it doesn't run Java properly. Write your java on (for instance) unix, then ask MS's VM[1] to run it, and there's a good chance it will fall flat on its face. This defeats the whole purpose of Java. [1] I believe MS aren't allowed to call it a *Java* Virtual Machine for this very reason: they lost a few court cases over this issue. MS have now decided that they're not playing any more, and have stopped shipping the VM as of Windows XP / IE6. -- gav
