390517 2005-09-24 03:46:00 Java runtime is a replacement for Microsoft's Virtual Machine . (It deals with Java) .

Some sites wont work properly without it .

Some people prefer using it rather than installing SP1 (which installs Java, as part of its install) .

Since XP doesnt install Java by default . And SP1a, or SP2 doesnt install Java either .

I dont think it has anything to do with Borland .

If you use this version of Java, it may pay to update to 1 . 5 . 0 . 0 . 5

390518 2005-09-25 11:23:00 Sun has developed a cross platform programming language called Java, the runtime environment (Java Virtual Machine) sits between the program and computer to interpret the program. Therefore it is quite useful as several programs (mainly one's loaded online) use it.

Borland is another developer who make compilers and other things (biggest product is delphi I think).

The companies are unrelated.
