100% agree with Logos.

Java 6U20 doesn’t have any unpatched vulnerabilities. 6U21 doesn’t patch any security vulnerabilities. It provides additional functionality instead. PSI only reports security updates, so it won’t report that there’s an update needed for 6U20, even if java.com recommends it.

From http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/6u21.html:

Users who have Java SE 6 Update 20 have the latest security fixes and do not need to upgrade to this release to be current on security fixes.

You don’t need to update Java for security reasons. Reading the release notes, I see no need to update, especially since the Java update page says I’m using the recommended version, 6U20.

Security Exception Upon Drag-and-Drop Drag-and-drop would, under certain circumstances, result in a null value being passed instead of the expected data.

Java SE 6u21 provides a fix that lets drag-and-drop operations succeed for signed applications or applications with the accessClipboard permission granted.

Edit: Sorry if the above seems redundant. I interpreted Logos’s post as suggesting that Java SE 6u21 is more secure than 6u20. Upon a careful reading of what Logos posted, I realize that it merely says I should update to Java SE 6u21 if I need to let “drag-and-drop operations succeed for signed applications or applications with the accessClipboard permission granted.”

Kind of Web Shield DNS filter, seems to work along your AV without affecting speed connection :wink:

Even better, ClearCloud prevents you from being able to access nasty websites that you may not even know your computer is trying to access—and it prevents those nasty little programs from phoning home.

My Windows 7 system took seconds to update but my XP Pro system is taking ages. :cry:

5818

did it earlier on two systems, both on Win7 and that was pretty fast here too, no idea about XP…MS might be slowing down XP update servers… okay :-X ;D

News: Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Beta

David, it’s not for you ;D
Windows 7, Beta and 1.2 GB.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/ff183870.aspx

Bad news (which made it almost useless…): SP1 will not contain any new features that are specific to Windows 7 itself. For Windows 7, SP1 will simply be the combination of updates already available through Windows Update and additional hotfixes based on feedback by customers and partners.

Certainly not on this system, win7 won’t make an appearance until I get round to a new system and that won’t be for at least a year ;D

Perhaps even then win8 or whatever it will be called will be poking its head over the horizon so I may even wait longer. After all I skipped Vista completely if when I’m looking at a new system win8 isn’t far off then perhaps I will wait even longer ;D
