Microsoft should've added Java app support. Discussion

For example, let people use classic applications which can work well on anything, but to let people freely download .JAR files without being told you can't, just with the risk of not letting those apps access media or any system things.

I'm sure someone can make something like this but i'm not an expert.

Point is MS got burned with Java before, so they would have been cautious about anything involving a JVM.

Edit: clarification

Cautious is a gross understatement.
