Question Vista has no Java?
Need to open a program and I am told I can't without Java. Why is it Vista has all this useful stuff but not Java? Downloaded it years ago on a old computer but went to the
Sun site and their appears to be many versions-not just one. Is their any difference or
any requirements of Vista?

Microsoft and the company that created Java, Sun, are separate. Just as Microsoft doesn't include iTunes with Windows Vista, it also doesn't include Java. Certain computer manufacturers might pre-install it on systems, but Microsoft isn't going to include another company's software with their operating system.

Didn't intend to get 2 treads going on this same subject but yes I had already installed it.
As far as Microsoft not putting other people's software on there, I really don't care if it is Microsoft, HP, Dell or whoever. The fact is their is Nortons pre loaded (trail) Microsoft Office(TRAIL), Adobe and others and Java is something that is needed quite often which is why a pop up requiring it usually comes up. I just happen to have a site that it didn't and then came across one that did which made me aware of that and that could of been the pre set security settings.

Microsoft did not include Norton software and Adobe software with Windows Vista. The company you bought your computer from did. Manufacturers pre-load various applications. Some might pre-load Java, and others might not.

If you loaded Windows on a computer (not using restore disks), you'd find that Norton, Adobe, and all other apps would not be installed.
