Title: Java Post by U Look Like U Saw A Ghost on Oct 25th, 2011 at 6:24pm
What is the difference between Oracle Java & Microsoft Virtual Machine for Java?
Are the two interchangeable? Set Program Access And Defaults allows you to enable or disable user access MVM for Java, (hidden by default). If I enable it, do the settings appear in Control Panel or, Internet Explorer? Thank you. |

uh, i am no expert, but i think java is the > language .. the programming language, developed by sun microsystems, which has since been bought out by oracle.
the java virtual machine is .. uh, a virtual machine .. built in and run by .. java. too easy, i know. java is a compiled language. the vm lets you run java programs without compiling. |

Not exactly. Most compiled languages are compiled for each architecture you want to run them on. I.E. you write a program in C++. You then compile it for Windows. It runs great in Windows. The same compiled executable will not run on Linux. You have to take the (hopefully) same source code and re-compile it and send out a separate executable for Linux. MacOS? Different compiled executable. To make matters worse, different OS's have different capabilities, so you might have to adjust the source code before you can recompile for the new OS. Java attempts to solve this. It is not compiled for a specific OS. It is compiled for a standards-based virtual machine. There is then a different version of the virtual machine written for each OS. The beauty is that anyone with a copy of a JVM installed can run *any* java program. There is no need to create different versions of the executable for different OS's since it is designed to run on the virtual machine instead of a specific OS, and the virtual machine only needs to be written once per OS and installed on each computer. So, tl;dr: Oracle Java is the language. Microsoft Virtual Machine for Java is Microsoft's version of the JVM for Windows. Oracle also provides a version of the JVM for Windows. If you have either you should be able to run any Java program. U Look Like U Saw A Ghost wrote on Oct 25th, 2011 at 6:24pm:
I would guess the Control Panel. |

It surprises me to learn that because, many Yahoo Chat users touted the Java version as being vastly more secure, than the Messenger counterpart & were disappointed by it's demise. Were they wrong? |

Java, is one of those things that should be kept up to date, like Shockwave and Flash, not to mention the K-Lite Codec pack, if you use that at all.
Most users are not even aware of those things, but their computers seem to work anyway. More or less. Cheers Mates! Happy Holidays! 8-) |

Yes, I use K Lite, mostly for 3gp.
