If you read what Sun has been saying, the M$ version has been "enhanced"
at the cost of security.  They have also taken steps to halt the rollout
of patches and ungrades that add features.  This meant that coders had
to limit their use of advanced features or risk not being able to run on
the M$ JVM.

If memory serves, the JDK used shouldn't have much of an effect.  The
differences are mainly seen when using the entension packages included
in these versions.
