    It would be interesting to know what software products actually require the Java Runtime Environment - I suspect there are very few, now that most developers have moved over to Flash. OTTOMH I can only think of LibreOffice (and Open Office, if you're still using that).

    Thinkbroadband's speed tester and other such stuff uses Java :)

    http://www.formula1.com/default.html requires Java if you're registered and want to view the timing screen in the same way as the commentators and the teams on the pitwall.
    Move along, nothing to see.
