What is the Java TM Plug in SSV Helper

Yeah right just think if everyone gets rid of java the only widespread language interoperability code, windows users hafta worry about will be .net.  Just think of that another innovative third party app (java) bites the dust, making us even more dependant on the monolith.

Specially since java is in the same boat as flash/flex in its duel with rival silverlight.

These softwares are client based, so third party stuff has to be installled on yer system before you can take advantage of products that use 'em.  Since the current generation of early adopters baulks at adding bourbon to their cola, preferring instead to buy their booze in little ready mixed cans it is difficult to visualise many 'going to the trouble' of adding third party support codings to their brand new outta the box system if there is another way already installed and available.

Hang on!  I seem to remember a long time back when gui based OS' first hit the shelves, many of us selected windows precisely because it was flexible anough to allow third party innovations run on it.

Why are we so eager to forgo the advantages of an almost universally available and useable OS which allows us to play with it in all sorts of ways, just because some are blase about playing with their puta?

But that means those producing these softwares hafta bite the bullet and stop chucking everything bar the kitchen sink into their single click installs.  I hate the fact that my best puta, the one I try to as little as possible non core apps on, would load nearly 90 'services' (87 exactly) on boot unless I devoted a few hours of techtective work slimmin it down.

answer that doesn't answer any of the questions. And a copy of former answer from somebody else, w/o quotation marks ...
