My experience has been that the Microsoft JDK is much more stable and
much much faster for a number of thing, including appplications we've
developed.  They've also been extremely quick to fix bugs and problems
in their implementation.

I havent tried Jigsaw with it, but if we can get some more info on the
problem I'm sure the MS Java team would be happy to see what code
doesnt work and get it fixed.
