Not really.  Sun's JRE will install over the top of an existing JRE 
install.  However, if it breaks, you get to keep the results.  I also 
have a lot of fun installing the JDK on Sun systems and RHEL/RHAS 
systems.  Windows is another animal where the installer wants to make 
sure it has a clean platform (this means removing msjava as well) to 
install on so it rips everything out and then installs again.
