    Best software ever! Who needs speed when you can create a single version of a software application that can run on any computer from PowerPC to Intel x86 to the various processors used in handheld computers in their various forms? Java is the only truly platform independent development platform that exists.

    I'm giving it five stars because, as uzi, Sun JRE is essential nowadays, but also because its packaging and deployment have significantly improved compared to what they were at one time.

    It is like a drug. You may hate it but you will have hard time working without it, as it became a de-facto standard for too much code.

    I will give it five stars not because it is a good software, but because it is essential, and with no compatible alternatives.

    If OpenOffice and my webmail app didn't require this, I wouldn't install it. Especially now that Java Quick Start is running as a service. So I have to modify services to stop it, as the Java control Panel app setting no longer works. So I cannot give this ever larger and ever more unnecessary program a good rating.
