Well, you know those claims that Java runs on 18 trillion devices? How do you think they got there, hmmmmm?

Windows actually came with a Java runtime for a short while. Then Microsoft got sued, the Java VM was killed, and C# was created (which looks, feels, and behaves very similar to Java) as an alternative.

Just imagine what would've happened if Microsoft and Sun worked together. Java would be in everything on Windows now, not just as a basis for modded Minecraft.
