Microsoft Ends Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Support
Microsoft has removed 10 security patch downloads, all associated with Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (JVM) technology. Microsoft originally licensed its JVM technology from Sun Microsystems. The support ended as of June 30, 2009, according to the security bulletins and a Microsoft support page. However this move isn’t much of a concern for users as most Java users use the Sun JVM and not the one licensed by Microsoft.
