Thanks!...

Btw do people still use Java 7?..I'm using Java 8 update 5.

not me, the moment Java 8 was released I ditched Java 7 completely and have been updating 8 since then only.

People only need to use Java 7 if and only if they have some program that explicitly works on that particular version of older Java. Otherwise stick to the latest.
 
Apparently Java 8 does not work with Windows XP .. personally this is a jack ass move on the part of Sun / Oracle as there are many computers that still need or want to use XP

All my Windows computers use Win8.1,I do have a few Linux distros as well.


Main reason for my upgrade from 7 to Java 8 is the improved security it has.

I don't blame sun for not supporting XP. I hope every single company does the same to get rid of that old ghost
