Given the infamous Flashback Trojan affaire that just passed and that even goaded Apple to put out 3 Java security updates in less than a week, is it sane or safe to risk a non-Apple-sanctioned Java install? Just checked in Lion's Software Update and no new Java stuff is pending in the pipe….
Back in the support forums we're still trying to stamp out the Flashback fire, with all the newbies that have no clue on how to keep the software up to date.
