I know this question isn't exactly a programming question, but it will affect how we program one of our products, so i guess it might be close enough.
Do you guys still see the Microsoft JVM (Java 1.1) on client computers anymore? I havent found much info on this particular JVM online...
Anyone know of a good resource to find this type of info? Sun's site is pretty much useless for this...
Thanks!
Wow, I remember this being installed on work PCs around 2002. It is not supported by Microsoft any more. See- http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/default.mspx
I'd be surprised if you found many PCs that still had this on.
In my mind it would not be an unreasonable requirement to say Java 1.4 or later.
Your demographics may be different though, but I believe we talk about IE4 based systems which has been subsequenlty upgraded, and only those.
What is your product, and what does it need to do?
One way to settle a question like this would be to get hold of your company's customer list, and them out a survey. Or put a survey on your product website.
Or maybe you could buy one of those expensive "state of the industry reports" ... Gartner, etc.
