[Tfug] Microsoft reveals 'critical' security flaws

[Anthony Steckman]

One more reason the MS JVM should never be used for anything.

If there was any justice left in the world, Sun would have succeeded 
in it's attempts to prevent the MS JVM's further distribution.

It's funny that this John Montgomery seems to have fronted the idea of 
disabling IE from viewing applets at all. Seems to me it would work out 
quite well for MS and the .NET "revolution" if people were willing to go 
along with that one.

Equally funny: I don't know of a single OEM that ships systems with the 
Sun JRE pre-installed.

Okay, okay, I now this has nothing or little to do with Linux. Carry on. 
I'm done now.
