Yes, you are the only person believing this -- how can Java become
ubiquitous if we ignore 80%+ of the desktops out there? (no need to
answer) You *could* download the JDK beta which just released, but
there goes your conspiracy theory. Check out:

Oh, and to address your next conspiracy, we didn't add bugs to the NT
release to make it less stable -- if you find any problems, please
report them and they will be fixed for the 1.0 release. I can be
fairly confident of this because I'm one of the developers on the
Win32 port.
