I mean, is it to make things difficult for non-MS user (usual MS practices) or does it hold any advantage over the Sun Java version? It sure makes life difficult for Mac users

MS is just really good at weaselling, foot dragging, and manipulating fine print, so this is not an easy task. If they don't want to do something, no number of judges, contracts or lawyers will make them do it.
Their first response to Sun was to drop Java from Windows altogether.

What was their argument for changing it (in the court case)? It's just sad that any company can be above the law. It's just sickening

Thought so but one would think Sun could stop them altering the code no?

Sun tried, as a matter of fact.

I believe they cited speed and compliance. Despite their lack of JNI & RMI support, it passed more compliance tests than sun's JVM.
I'd have to say the real reason is they wanted to splinter java development.
