Re: DO I need a Java upgrade? (Answer yes but ... )

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I use Windows when I have no option Richard - WDSC/RDi being one  
of those cases.  But the VM is never as good/fast as the native OS so  
I try to keep everything native if I can.

One of the big problems I always had with windows was the slow down  
and decrease in reliability as more and more stuff cluttered up the  
registry.  The few things I have running in Windows work quite well  
right now so I don't want to mess it up.
