Well... yes and no. You can install either Microsoft's Java VM or the Sun one and have it work fine; it doesn't ship with it installed, though. You may also see XP claiming that your Java installation is damaged if you examine downloaded program files in IE. Ignore that; I believe it's a symptom of the core OS no longer "embracing" Java - which is probably A Good Thing.
Netscape 6.2 works fine on XP also - with Java support, of course. I've actually played with several java applets over the last few months and have had no OS-specific issues with any of them on XP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Stringham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday/2002 January 10 11:55 Subject: Re: TightVNC : Isn't it true that XP has Java removed?
