Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 4
Pros: Plug-In, runs certain objects and programs.
Cons: This plugin is not only annoying, but big for a browser plugin and annoying. It is oversized, and thankfully, not many sites require this plugin to work otherwise I probably won't even go online. Java is about 100MB or more in size, hangs in the background causing system instability, constantly running whether you like it or not, and is just plain annoying. Yes it could be useful for running some games and some tools or objects, but I rather stay away from this. I wish OpenOffice and LimeWire didn't require Java to run. I don't use neither programs BECAUSE it requires Java.

Version: Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
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.
