The update function within the program is saying I have the latest, though I have update 13, not 14. Additionally, going to java.com and hitting downloads, it says "Congratulations, you have the latest version". Due to some problems previously, I like updating from within the program for this one (though usually I hate that). Is it possible the within-the-program utility hasn't caught up yet?

Then why the fud did they release it...?!?...
Edit; OK, JRE today included a cool new garbage collector called G1... "note that production use of G1 is only permitted where a Java support contract has been purchased..." |

Thanks for the update!
How many more updates are we going to get for JRE 6 before we finaly hit JRE 7? JRE6 Update 27?  When Windows 7 comes out? I feel like this JRE 6 is getting long in the tooth with updates.  |
