It doesn't. OpenJDK provides no binaries for Windows as far as I'm aware. The build setup is pretty complex and requires a combination of Cygwin and Microsoft tools: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/build/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#windows http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/build/raw-file/tip/README-bu... Basically, Oracle's JDK/JRE is the OpenJDK build for Windows that normal people can use. That's it.

Is the use of OpenJDK along with any Java code free for commercial use?.. Or do companies that use OpenJDK have a chance to have Oracle charge them for using its technologies?..

  Using OpenJDK is completely free, as far as I'm aware. Redistributing OpenJDK bits is covered by GPL2 with some Sun/Oracle amendments: http://openjdk.java.net/legal/ http://openjdk.java.net/legal/
