I needed to install the Java JRE last night (it's been awhile, and my tablet's been somewhat of an experimental OS platform lately). So I went over to java.com to grab it (by the way, I always thought it was ironic that the Java installer uses an ActiveX control if you are using IE).
So the installer starts and here's what I see:
After a quick doubletake, I realize what this is actually asking me and I'm baffled for a moment.
Does this represent some new found love between Sun and Microsoft. I doubt it, and after some quick web research, sure enough they still pretty much hate each other, but will of course do business with each other. What this really represents is another move on the field of battle betwen Microsoft and Google (remember, what the JRE used to try and install here? The Google Toolbar).
Anyway, I thought it was a remarkable enough sight to remark on it. ;)
