I powered up a rarely used machine today to install updates, and the Oracle Java update tool gave me a good telling off. It seems I had not used Java for 6 months, so it recommended me to remove the entire package, further explaining that out-of-date packages are dangerous. This makes me very happy, but once upon a time the Java installer was proud in proclaiming the billions of machines (PCs. set-top boxes, auto-mobiles, phones, coffee makers etc..) that ran their software. And now they are actively aiming to reduce that number. Cool :) -- Adrian C
