RE: no Java in XP Windows

Chris, Tom,

Reading between the lines, don't you think that all of this really looks
like nothing more than the Justice Department looking for an exit strategy?

The whole episode with Jackson doesn't quite sit right with me. I mean, why
on earth would a seasoned, intelligent judge, do something so blatantly
foolish, when he surely must have known that it would mean the end of his
ruling? I find it very difficult to accept that he's dumb enough to
unwittingly put himself in that position.
