i was told that m$ no longer supports the download of virtual machine

i tried many times after getting the error and taken to the download page and it says the vitual machine is no longer available

i have it on cd so i dont care to much anymore but at the time i had to search for an alternate java and was bombarded with "please give a valid email and we will give you the link to the download site"

i dont know why m$ doesnt offer virtual machine anymore but if m$ provides a download could you post it here first

cheers
