Just curious.... My motives to install Java 6 were: 1) Because the only two PCs in the family who already had Java installed both have Java 6, I hoped to get a comparable setup. 2) Ages ago I've got annoyed by the (auto-)update of a new Java version every week or so. I have the faint hope that the current build of Java 6 (Update 38) will last a while as mainstream support will end next month. See: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_6.xml 3) Recently Java7 received bad press concerning security. See: http://www.20min.ch/digital/news/story/15141662 4) Java 6 is available since 2006, Java 7 since 2011. From my experience old(er)/mature systems tend to be more stable than new(er) ones. ;-)
