Bigger businesses are less likely to use Java from another source. Either they pay for Java directly, or receive support by paying for another Oracle Java based product. > I've encouraged my employer to upgrade, we're currently running Java 8. Call it a bias but I think it is generally good practice to expunge Oracle wherever feasible. That doesn't mean not paying support to anyone. Some of our larger customers were already expressing a preference for supported RedHat, for example, before we were effectively forced out of using Centos (by RedHat, oddly enough), so the assurance of Java support comes with that, along with a lot more. Java 8 is very sticky. Best of luck.
