Microsoft's note on Java support

This blurb comes from the Microsoft Comic Chat End User Liscense Agreement (EULA), Article number 7.

NOTE ON JAVA SUPPORT. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT may contain support for programs written in Java. Java technology is not fault tolerant and is not designed, manufactured, or intended for use or resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of Java technology could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.

Oh no! Guess we all better switch over to C# before the whole goddamn world blows up in our collective faces

Actually, this exact notice is also placed in some of the Java files Sun itself distributes. For example:

/*
* @(#)Animator.java 1.10 97/02/05
*

* Sun grants you ("Licensee") a non-exclusive, royalty free, license to use,

Now as to why they have to put this in, I have no idea.
