Hi,
I hope someone can clear up my confusion.

What is the difference between Microsoft's Virtual machine
http://www.microsoft.com/java/vm/dl_vm40.htm

and Sun's Java Plug-in
http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html

Are these the same product?
Is the Microsoft version current?
Is this what is referred to as the "Java scripting engine." (not to be 
confused with JavaScript)

Scratching my head,
