There is no JVM (You can download it from Sun.com) in any Windows OS - only IE understands Java applets (not Java 2) without additional plug-ins.I do not think that this will lead to the death of Java, but I guess MicroSoft is discriminating Java.

The JRE is the Java Runtime Environment. It is the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) plus the classes in the Standard Edition. People often mistakenly refer to the JRE as the JVM.

In that topic in the JRE forum, the following proactive measures have been introduced.

JRE pre-install by OEMs (sign it)

Incremental updates to the JRE (vote for it)

There is no JRE initially installed in NT or Dos based windows either. So what. It's not hard to download a self extracting executable off the internet.

Of course it's not hard to install a little JRE, but the problem is the hundreds of millions of computer illiterate ppl out there who might want to use our java apps but don't even know what the word 'download' means. It'd be great if OEMs preinstall the JRE cause that's where the computer illiterates get their systems.
