   Good grief. Java is always buggy. The official release from sun even contains viruses. The computing world deserves better than this.

   Just so no one is confused by 'updates 5 or 6'......that would be any version at 1.5.0 or above.The current update is 1.5.0_06

   I've never been a big fan of Java. I've actually avoided using Azerus because it is Java based! I find that Java seems to be a half-assed attempt to compete with Flash, and the level of production is extremely low. I find Java unreliable and a nuinsance. The only reason that I have it installed is so that I can play Family Feud on Uproar.com. After hearing about these holes, (which I'm not all that surprised to hear about) I think I'm just going to scrap the program all together.

In this case, I like Flash WAY more than Java. I don't think that release dates really matter in this case, cause Java has had lots of time to fix up their problems after seeing what Flash was capable of...

   Nice. I'd like you to write an operating system in Flash. Or maybe a desktop environment like Project Looking Glass? Or, well, as you are obviously not that experienced, maybe a simple "hello world" program that would work on Windows, Linux, BSD, Solaris, AIX, OS/2 and all other platforms Java is available for?

   I agree. I think java is nice but I also encounter a lot of problem through out the years. I think the software writters from Suns needs to work harder to makea better java.
