Bloatus Goatse uses Java as well.

The association was deliberate, trust me. On my list of 'development teams put against the wall when the revolution comes', the Lotus Notes team is first, followed by the InstallShield team.

Java is currently the most popular programming language. http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html[^]
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." --Stephen Crane
Have you read how the TIOBE index is assembled? http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/tpci_definition.htm[^] The ratings are calculated by counting hits of the most popular search engines. The search query that is used is +"<language> programming" Maybe the index is that high because Java raises the most questions... ;P

The LunaticFringe’s post bellow reminded me that I’m willing to ask this question from some time. I’m tired to fight with this annoying Java VM updates, which is impossible to be turned off. In fact I started to love UAC because of this – it’s my only friend against Java updates. So my question is what I’m going to miss if I just uninstall the thing? I’m not doing Java from years now and I hope I’ll never do it again, so development is not an issue. I don’t care about the websites build with Java – they are very few, so what I’m missing? BTW - Happy Friday to all!

The form filler and checker of the Hungarian Tax Agency is written in Java - they were forced by the Linux community after become mandatory to use their software to do the "paperwork". It still has not the best UI but it became more advanced in two years than the previous one written in Delphi became in four years. Good libraries are treasure.

I removed it from registry and I never get asked for updates. I do not think you will miss anything, practically no site uses Java these days.

But my favourite IDEs are Java! But, no, I don't know of any killer apps in the desktop space so you probably don't really need it.

Intall CCleaner http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup228.exe[^] Run CCleaner, go to Tools -> Startup Select the Java Updater and disable or delete it. May also want to disable a bunch of other junk that is running in the background. But to be save just disable them until you are sure everything works as expected. Then you can go back and delete them.
