OK, go whine to the people at Sun then. The Java RE is not part of FC3
either.

- "Does not work under Virtual PC" - no one said it will, and if it
doesn't it's the Virtual PC guys fault.

- "Borland Builder/Java is a resource hog" - complain to Borland and or
Sun.

- "Unbearably slow on my old 128MB box" - sorry, software upgrades and
hardware upgrades go hand in hand. If you feel that's bad, complain
upstream to the developers working on KDE/Gnome/Other components for all
the new functionality they added since the last release.

Summary: you're barking up the wrong tree.
