Serious question... What do average people need Java installed for these days? Seems like it's nothing but a resource user and something you always have to update.

do we have to ask the same old boring question everytime posts about some Java Update??! Seriously man, if you don't use it so don't even get into the thread (no offense)

I use it and I NEED IT!!

PS: I got this update 5 days back by the way, still not compatible with IE 11 on Windows 8.1. Not that I use IE, but just noting

I was about to ask the same thing. Java should have never seen the light of a day. It's an abomination and the most pathetic excuse for a software from at least a decade.

Minecraft is pretty much the only reason I use Java.

Sorry, I don't often follow the Java update threads, but this time I decided to ask the question.

This. It takes too long to install, average user will get a nice ASK toolbar to go along with it, Java helper, Java quickstart and it takes too long to load each time all for a little animation on some websites
