On Windows, as part of VisualStudio installer, we can install the Microsoft OpenJdk version.
This jdk has priority when we select the default for the user.

On Windows, as part of the Visual Studio installer, we can install a
Microsoft-maintained OpenJDK.

(This is done principally because Google's Android SDK tooling still
requires JDK 1.8, and Oracle will be making it more difficult to
download and install JDK 1.8 at a future point in time.  We have
deemed it easier to maintain and install our own OpenJDK 1.8 build
so that Google's Android SDK tooling can continue to run.)

Microsoft's OpenJDK install has  priority when determining a default
JDK for developers.
