But many large companies use internal software that relies on Java and have been pressing Oracle to make the language safer.

Sounds to me like they have bigger problems than java in the browser if they're worried about being hacked.

Java - the gift that keeps on giving. I read this story out loud to a collective groan from my long-suffering IT colleagues. We just finished the month’s round of patches. Gotta do it, though.

Since the warning I have had Java turned off - except for one work app.

I have a dedicated browser that only goes to a dedicated site that is behind a firewall. This app is mission critical to my job and there is no doing without it. But on the other hand I’m probably never going to use Java out “in the wild” on the interwebs ever again. Fixes or no fixes.

I removed Java from all the family PC’s. Haven’t had any complaints.
