The amount of Java exploits are crazy, if you can, avoid it like the plague!

 

I thought it already supported 64-bit, because the process wasn't *32. Guess it has full support now.

As for Java exploits, how many of them are for the current version?

 

None I'd hope.

 

Well, so much for that --> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/javacpujune2011-313339.html

Not sure it was the best idea or anything (nor whether it matters much with respect to vulnerabilities) but I "upgraded" to SE 7:

Install programming platform on a secured system with experienced user just for these patches? Not worth the time and effort. I have EMET on Java anyways.

 

Perhaps not, but as far as "time and effort" there wasn't much of either (figure downloading a ~19MB file, uninstalling the previous version, and installing the new - end to end it was less than 5 minutes).
