I don't get all the fuss about Apple no longer shipping java with OSX. Windows never did. Linux does not. So what?

According to early reports about the developer preview release, when a user tries to run a java application (or install one), the operating system will look online for the latest runtime virtual machine and prompt the user to install it. IT'S EVEN EASIER THAN ON WINDOWS, PEOPLE! :D
