Hello to all,

It states that the software available in this site should not be used
for commercial purposes.

Please tell me is there any way i can work use java on windows
environment free of cost for business.

Thank you,

Vishnu

What it says is:

  ".... In the event that Software ... is not licensed for your use
through License Terms specific to the Software, you may use the
Software subject to the following: (a) .... noncommercial
purposes; ..."

Note the clause in the first sentence "is not licensed for your use
through License Terms specific to the Software".

There are specific license terms for Java which allow commercial use.
Type in "download Java" in a search engine.

You're reading the wrong license. This is the license that regulate use of
Java SE, ie the JDK and JRE. It permits commercial use:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/index.html

If that license isn't good enough, you can use Openjdk, which is
licensed under the GPL v2 + a explicit linking exception.

http://openjdk.java.net/
http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html

Section 2. Use of Software seems apropos. The "License Terms specific 
to" Java would apply. IANAL.

That's my reaction.  To the op:  If you really need legal advice, please 
contact a lawyer.  Getting legal advice from random people on the 
internet is a serious fail.

Also, learn to read plain English, as the license you link to is pretty 
darn clear about what it is saying.

I think the advice to contact a lawyer is a lot better
than to read the license as plain English. Legal matters
should follow common sense, but the reality is a bit
more complex.
