I understand why the Sun version is preferable, but how can you get the
Microsoft VM to work? I need to access certain sites/programs that I
suspect for some reason need the Microsoft version to work - they certainly
aren't working with the latest Sun version. I know that MS doesn't have it
for download anymore, but I've found some other places to get it, including
the site mentioned earlier in this thread, but after installing it I don't
see it in the control panel or add/remove programs. I would appreciate any
help - this has been a frustrating process.
