Anyone Remember J++?
That didn't last long did it?

The failure of the MSJVM to pass Sun's compliance tests was a large factor in the initial lawsuit. On January 24, 2001, this suit was settled and Microsoft agreed to pay $20 million, and both companies, Sun and Microsoft, agreed to cease Java licensing. The settlement document outlined that Microsoft also could not advance J++ beyond its mirrored implementation of Java, version 1.1.4. This effectively ended J++ and further updates. As well, the MSJVM had to cease to be distributed and is no longer available for download.

BUSTED.
