last time i saw microsoft's jvm it was somewhat fulfilling the
requirements of java 1.1.x  ?  i'm affraid it would be quiet
pointsless effort, why are you asking this anyway, cant you
just download a proper jvm from a good vendor like sun self
or ibm ?

if you are planning to run jetty in an applet in a browser
(i assume that this is what you are planning to do ...),
it may work, but please notice that microsoft's jvm implementation is
probably missing some classes that may be used by jetty, you
either would have to implement them by yourself or find some
wierd ways to get around them.

anyway my suggestion would be keep your fingers off from
microsofts jvm, i was a game developer about 3-4 years back
and used to create java applet games, and the most irritating
part always was to make them work with microsoft's jvm since
it had such absurd errors and incomplete classpath.

ps. you can also tell the browser that a certain java version
is needed for the applet and include some html/javascript code
there which help the user to install sun's newer java plugin
with ease. see sun's website documentation for this.
