Vista - Java on Vista RTM?

I can find no indication of Sun Java on my Vista RTM. Is it included, or
does it need to be added?

You will need to download it from the Sun Java site and install it on Vista.

I'm totally perplexed that the lack of technical know-how/knowledge by
so many in this group in this group. I'd expect it from the
windowsxp.general group, but I guess I figured that anyone using Vista
before it's official release was technically savvy to some degree.

Coming up next:

"Where is QuickTime and RealPlayer?"

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

The guy asked a fair question, and even had the decency of thanking those
people that replied.
Get off his case.
