The reason for this detailed description is to highlight that in Windows one simply runs the JRE exe and it is installed automatically.
Heavens. You have to download the exe manually from somewhere? or click on some untrusted source to get the JRE from?
What untrusted source, it was Sun's website. Do you make your own JRE at your place?
If by my place you mean at Debian, yes. Not only is the source verified to come from Sun, it goes through testing by the Debian maintainer, the brave souls who test Experimental, the users of Sid .... and I can cryptographically verify that the stuff I get is the one that was tested by the folks I trust.
