I highly recommend using Sun Java as it is more updated than the MS
version. MS was sued over their use of Java technologies in their
software which they did not request permission to use nor give credit for.

That's a very simplistic reason to what happened. MS did have the right to use it, and they paid for it, although that resulted from a lawsuit in itself. MS then changed the code, making Sun Java their own, and that would make it proprietary to MS apps like IE, etc. The last two straws were, when it didn't include Java in the release of XP, as they named it MSJVM, and then distributed through their update site without permission or linking it to it being from Sun. That was the main violation and it was outright theft of source code; this by a company that implemented PA because it wants to stop piracy!

Sun java isn't compatible with Yahoo messenger's IM feature. It prevents an
IM user to send message through the IM interface.
