Why would one need to remove MSJVM from Vista when Microsoft was ordered not to integrate it their operating systems since Windows XP SP1? It would seem to be a bit insane to do an upgrade Vista install on any OS previous to Windows XP SP1a that included MSJVM. I can acknowledge that some companies still require the use of MSJVM for their servers, but it would have been purposely installed from a download not included with Vista.
