It does require Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, but do people seriously care anymore since XP is out the door after April?

That's important so I guess I'll quote the text bit:
Java, on which many web sites and other programs rely, has been through many updates over the years. The version I installed this morning, for example, is 144. But in the past, updates to Java had a serious shortcoming. Although the new, secure version was installed correctly, the old insecure version was left in place. So if you're a regular Java user, your computer may still contain multiple insecure versions.

If you're worried that your computer might be at risk, see https://java.com/en/uninstall/ for details of how to download a free program that will remove all the old insecure versions of Java from your PC.
