    This is the software that will make your Intel Core I7 Extreme system behave and feel like a 25Mhz Intel 80486 system.

    Having to use the final Java is bad enough & although I use a lot of Beta software I draw the line at Java. The day I can get by without it is the day it's gone for ever on any of my PC's.

    Wow. Java 7 hardly works with ANYTHING yet, and they're pushing 8? They must be taking lessons from Mozilla, though at least Firefox works, more or less..
