I was, and currently am, on my windows XP box and I was trying out the
Firefox browser for windows when I discovered that java applets weren't
working.

They worked just fine in IE and I had not downloaded the JVM from sun yet.

Of course I went to sun and downloaded it and it works fine now. So here
is the lawsuite.

Microsoft says IE is a part of windows right? So if IE has a JVM in it
shouldn't that work for any browser you install?

Maybe I'm reaching but I thought it would be cool... ;)
