Oracle's Java is what the OP is about. Nothing to do with javascript, which bears an unfortunate name, causing this sort of confusion.

Reply to Say a final goodbye to the Java plugin. in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

There are a few niche business websites which actually still require Java, believe it or not. My practice has to use one every day. This will finally force them to recode the damn thing, after ignoring our complaints about Java for years..

Very safe bet (farm, mortgage, you name it) that WB will be released as a standalone upgrade when it's considered ready (out of beta).

Strange. I get full-frame skinning of OL, Word, Excel & PP 2010 on Win7 Pro. The interior controls are not skinned of course.

Stand-alone purchase is different than an Object Desktop subscription, as it appears you understand. When the release version is ready (should be soon given how long the beta has been out) you'll be eligible for upgrade, either free (if your purchase was recent enough) or at a discount.

Reply to Why The force awakens is as bad as the prequels in Everything Else JoeUser Forums

Saw it today 3D IMAX. Entertaining but without as much of the droll wit of the original, of which it was a total re-hash, minus the good/evil tension of the original. Still enjoyed it, though. Left a lot of opportunities for another 'mequel' or two to fill in the blanks. YMMV.

Adding an hour with such a simple tweak is pretty damn clever, Brad. May I ask what the pre-tweak baseline SP4 battery life was day-to-day? Thanks!

Actually, and just for clarification, in British English, when used in a sentence, the word government is often used as a plural: "The government are taking this very seriously." [e digicons]:)[/e]

Jafo, being a subject of the Queen, you should know better. After all, government is plural. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

The Surface market, at least with respect to skinning, is the same as the desktop market - both running the desktop OS (except for RT). I expect to move into the Surface market by this spring & will look forward to using the compatible apps. Re-upping this month.
