Why is a migration from the MSJVM necessary?

As per a legal agreement between Microsoft and Sun Microsystems, Microsoft is no longer updating the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (MSJVM) and can only provide fixes for security issues through December 31, 2007. Microsoft cannot provide any other updates to the MSJVM, and after December 31, 2007 the MSJVM becomes obsolete.

Obsolete software, whether in the form of unsupported products, old service packs, or even expired certificates, is an issue every customer needs to be concerned with. Microsoft software life cycle communications help customers identify obsolete software in a proactive and ongoing fashion.
