IIRC Sun didn't want MS shipping a JVM... especially one superior to the
one Sun shipped. Nor did they want MS shipping a Java IDE which is why
J++ was dropped. Sun's complaint was that if you used J++ apps wouldn't
be cross platform which was only true if you used the Windows API
extensions.

But, if Java is slow or bad on Windows it is only Sun's fault and not
MS's.
