As I understand it (perhaps imperfectly), the com.sun.* classes are
fine. They're not part of Java per se, but are "fine" in the same sense
that other non-core contributed classes like Apache Commons are.
It's the sun.* classes that are "Subject to change without notice;
the Secretary will disavow all knowledge, hic draecones."

They're not Windows-specific, they're Oracle-specific. If you
want code that's portable from Oracle's JVM to Somebody's JVM, or
even from Oracle's JVM version X to Oracle's JVM version X+1, don't
call anything in the sun.* packages. See:
<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/faq-sun-packages-142232.html>
As for the question "How many coders ignored the warning?", it
looks like we might soon find out ...
