Why not uninstall Java?

Other than possibly Minecraft, I can't think of very many applications that use it.

On my Mac, I used to need Java for OpenOffice but then I found a Mac native port of LibreOffice. a few years ago. :D

I haven't had Java installed on this Windows laptop since I bought it (I uninstalled Java when breaking it in). I haven't encountered anything of importance that needs it. I haven't had java installed on Windows since modifying "FlashQuake" a couple years ago.


I'm operating under the assumption that you don't code in it.

You need Java to run the Quake Injector :wink:

Maybe you did not update as administrator? Windows seems incredibly weird and annoying.

R00k doesn't even know how to start single player. In fact, he thinks "single player" is being the only player on a server.
