Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 3
Pros: Used to run LimeWire and OpenOffice.
Cons: If it wasn't necessary for LimeWire or OpenOffice, I wouldn't use it at all. I never got the point of the program. Yes I understand the point of Java, but this "necessary" application basically makes programs 100MB+ more. OpenOffice should have only been 100MB but plus Java it's like 200MB installed. Java uses a lot of memory in the background. I remember when I didn't know anything about computers, it made my computer run so slow.. and used like 5 processes in between just for "updates" and "running certain items." I'm so annoyed of it and I wish it wasn't a necessary program.

Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 3
Cons: Every time I try to download ANYTHING from Java, a Windows Installer message pops up after the JRE finishes downloading saying that the package wasn't valid and the publisher could not be verified.
