Do you have an insight why Java JRE is not shipped with the browser itself? Why can't say oracle, when they have a new Java VM ready, send it to all those interested in integrating it in their browsers build system (firefox, apple, Microsoft, google chrome, etc..) and then those will work with Oracle to integrate the JRE into the browser build if they wish. I never understood why does the browser ships without java, then one has to go download the JRE separately. Why not have that part of the browser installation itself? Why can't say Firefox comes Java ready? The browser size will be a little larger, but so what? internet speed is fast these days, who cares if it is 18 MB larger now. Why do you think this is not done? It due to some legal issues? or technical ones? thanks --Nasser
