They don't hate panos, they just hate any technology that might compete with them!
However, we should not be too surprised by this; It was in the making...
Here are a couple more tid bits from another article on the subject:
"The first time XP users try to view a Website or use an application that
requires a JVM, they will get a prompt to download Microsoft's JVM
from its Website, he said. At that point, they can choose to skip that
download and choose another JVM instead."
"Current Windows operating systems ship with Microsoft's JVM integrated,
and they will continue to include it. Users who upgrade to XP from an earlier
version of Windows will be able to keep the Microsoft JVM that came with
their old OS, Kasiviswanathan said."
BTW, I don't think there is anything like an Applet in the new Microsoft .net
stuff. Probably the closest thing would be an Active X control. :^(
