Pros
Can't think of any.
Cons
Crashes.
Don't really need it.
Pros
allows you to allocate more ram for games that allow it
Cons
every time java 32 bit installs you have to re-install the 64 bit version
Summary
if your a gamer you need this
Pros
It does help with some web and desktop applications.I,personally avoid these.
Cons
Lousy security measures.They can`t update this thing fast enough.Or thoroughly enough,either.
Summary
It`s really not worth using it.The risks are just to high.Think twice before installing it.Seriously.
Pros
As I was checking that all my plugins were up-to-date, I came across a site that said there was a new version available - 8 update 5, which I successfully updated to. But, see the Summary below.
Cons
Besides the unclear upgrade path, none that I'm aware of.
Summary
A few days after updating to version 8, I get the CNET announcement that Version 7, Update 55 was available. Wanting to use the latest version I ran the Version 7 update, at the end of which the installer stated that I was using the latest version - 8, update 5!
Pros
Works great for me. Finally Oracle has tweaked the security settings to be safe by default. And now devs have started crypto signing their applets (ie Keepvid.com to download YT vids). Good change! Also Vuze, Jitsi and the rest of my Java desktop apps run just fine.
Cons
None if you use this offline installer.
Summary
Beefed up security. Now devs have started crypto signing their applets (ie Keepvid.com to download YT vids). Good change! Also Vuze, Jitsi and the rest of my Java desktop apps run just fine.
Pros
Absolutely none.
Cons
Lack of support unless I want to pay $25/hour for it. I have tried to download it 8 separate times without any success. If I could find an alternative I would get it in a heart beat.
Summary
Very, very disappointed with java. I always thought of it as a company with integrity. Guess I was wrong.
Pros
performs all functions i need.
Cons
none at this time
Summary
Need JRE then get it; it's free.
Pros
Great for getting business done
Cons
In windows explorer I have to remember to turn it on every time.
Firefox does not have this problem
Summary
A needed program for most internet sites
Pros
It's nice to have a download for it so it can be installed on computers that aren't connected to the internet.
Cons
