Hmmm... Let's see if I get this straight enough to sound like I know what the hell I am talking about with the Sun vs. M$ Java mess... Here is how I see the situation. A few years ago Sun Microsystems (developers of Java) sued M$ for producing an altered version fo Java, kind of a M$ branding of sorts. Rather than comply with returning to developing Java within the scope of the license by Sun, M$ opted to discontinue use of Java. Apparently there are some Java components within Office 2000, so M$ discontinued distribution, including distribution within MSDN, after they lost their lawsuit with Sun. I am glad I have my Office 2000 licenses still, as it is one of the best versions overall, with little in the way of wizards that get in my way. Lately M$ has come to realize the world did not abandon Jave just because M$ stopped using it, and have come to terms with Sun with Java use that is (more) compliant with the Sun license.
