Microsoft Java Virtual Machine

[Ian Basis]

We do banking online with Citi Bank. In order for me to
connect with there website, I need to have Microsoft Java
Virtual Machine installed on my workstation. Can anyone
tell me where I can get Microsoft VM from.

Thanks,

Ian Basis

Microsoft no longer supports or is permitted to distribute the old
Microsoft Virtual Machine. Instead, download Java here:

Greetings --

As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the ensuing
settlement, Microsoft was not allowed to provide its own Java Virtual
Machine to Windows XP users. You can get almost the same
functionality by downloading Sun's version of Java from
http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html. If you want the wider website
compatibility of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, one of which is here:
http://www.virtualmachine.tk/.

If you do choose the Microsoft JVM, be sure to visit Windows
Update to apply a needed security patch.

MSJVM is no longer available from MS due to the court decision with Sun.
You can go to http://www.java.com/en/index.jsp and download Java Runtime for
Windows which will work fine. Look for the link in the green box in the
upper right corner.

You should be able to use either Sun Java or Microsoft Java (even
though Microsoft is no longer permitted to distribute it, it's
still available).
