read it ..it is most amusing.
This is one of the more amusing letters Ive seen from Microsoft. First of all Sun did not want Microsoft to ship their version of the virtual machine, because unlike the sun version, it was compatible only with Microsoft products, and this was against the whole idea of java. Sun's real surprise was probably when they found microsoft was refusing to ship XP with any java VM.

t is also the only Java virtual machine that offers an integrated applet browsing experience with Internet Explorer.
This is exactly what Sun didnt want.
