I had problems with the multiple Java version of different applications.

But all the complaining about the many security updates is plain stupid:

  * Goolge Chome: 22.0.1229.94
  * IE9: 9.0.8112.16421

whatever those numbers really means.

Yes, Java has grown into a monster, like Windows, but there's too much sofware for it, noone is going to rewrite it, so Java will be with us for quite a while.

Use your words. Why do you think that?

This is a professor at a university. I'd like to see him reprimanded or fired if he presents anything close to this article to his students as fact. It is one of the most out of touch articles I've seen in a long time, and it's not just some kid in his/her parents' basement; It's a damned professor of software engineering. Unbelievable.
