if MS's reason for not shipping with XP is that they feared a lawsuit, 
how could they have continued shipping a JVM with IE for the past 2 
years? whether you like to say it or not, this is classic MS.

"Classic MS".  Yes, I agree.  Microsoft is very smart, and very ruthless.
They are definitely the bully on the playground.  But Sun was completely
shortsighted.  They pissed off the bully, and now the bully came back and
stomped them.  Sun should have known better than to piss off Microsoft...who
was voluntarily bundling Java on their operating system.
