Java, Vista will work together
Sun Microsystems has promised that Java will work with Microsoft`s new Windows Vista operating system, following reports of compatibility problems, reports PC Advisor.
Conceding that there were various areas where Vista had changed substantially from Windows XP that needed changes to be made, Sun says these have been dealt with, including clashes with Vista`s graphics systems.
