  "An all-out requirement for your Windows PC"

  by CableguyTK on February 8, 2006

  Pros: Its free.

  It makes all your java programs work...Azureus, Cabos, ANTsP2P, etc.

  Its so good that AutoPatcher includes this inside the updater for users to choose to install.

  Makes Microsoft Java Virtual Machine look like Cr@P

  Cons: Its a pretty big download.

  It puts jusched.exe in the startup programs...bah! Who needs this?

  Most java built programs will not work without this installed...this also goes for web content that requires java, like Yahoo! Games.

  It installs as an IE BHO... :P.

  "DEFINATE requirement for your PC."

  by Lifaen on May 23, 2006

  Pros: You pretty much have to have this program to run most programs on your pc. It does it's job well, and stays mostly in the background where you forget it's even on your computer.

  Cons: EXTREMELY hard to stay updated, not unless you are obsessed and visit the site every day, or keep checking for updates over and over again. I never get automatic update checks.

  "You need this program!"

  by sirnarekg on June 27, 2006

  Pros: Not only does the Java Applet allow you to open some websites, but it also lets you play some games such as RuneScape. RuneScape is a great example on how a little program like Java can do BIG things. The size is sort of big but bearable. 5 stars 2 thumbs up!

  Cons: You need to visit the site for updates though there arnt many.
