If all they did was take out J++, and we can still install the JDK and JRE
on WindowxXP, that might actually be an improvement.

I believe you would still have the option of getting all the plugins
required to run Oracle Apps - that includes jinitiator.
There wouldn't be any built - in Java Support in XP. You would have
to
build it from scratch.
JVM, setting classpaths, etc....

"Taking Java out" ?
What about Jinitiator? Will that still work?
And the JRE?
I guess I'll have to try it to find out.

BillG Was Waiting Five Years For This
Coming Friday the 24-th of August, Microsoft will deliver
the
final Windows XP code to PC makers
accompanied with some more PR hoopla than usual for an
RTM.
Chairman BillG and VP Jim Allchin, (both
Windows hawks) will participate in a stunt that involves
helicopters that will circle the Redmond campus while
the two honcho's hand over WXP to PC makers. The choppers
will
have WXP and major PC maker logo's
slapped on.
This is the final fulfillment of Bill's dream: a unified
code
base for both consumer and commercial products. He
must be a happy man 'cause the delays have been plenty.
Windows
2000 was supposed to do this already, and
he's been wanting this well before W2K was even designed.
WXP
is
built on the NT kernel, and basically is NT
V5.1. It's good it's early: it will grab some late
back-to-school
sales and create a happy holiday eXPerience for
Christmas shoppers.
We'll finally have a client OS that is as reliable as the
server
side. This is a good thing. The fact you might need
a major hardware upgrade to run it may not be so good for
budgets. But the major press WXP has gotten
relates more to the integration of the MS Passport
service,
its
Windows Media Player, the new messenger
features, the photo imaging software and plug-and-play
camera
support, taking Java out, and of course the
controversial Windows Product Activation (WPA). Also,
keep in
mind more features will be added later via
Service Packs. But be aware of crashes due to
incompatible
drivers. With new machines this will not be a
problem, but with upgrades you might be confronted with
some
nasty surprises.
MS pushed Release Candidate 1 (RC1) to beta testers early
July,
and RC2 came out later that same month.
These went so well that a third RC was not deemed
necessary.
You'll see it appear factory installed on shiny
new boxes late September. An interview with Jim Allchin
is on
the
Windows 2000 magazine site over here:
