This news is 2 internet years old
What a hoax. I got all bothered until I checked with the network administrator who had long ago loaded Java Plug-in 1.5.0_05 via Zenworks to our workstations. Novell shops addressed this six months ago or in Internet time 2 years ago.

FYI, all of the Novell administration tools as well as the Oracle Enterprise Manager are written in Java. This is why they can support the multiple operating systems from Microsoft. What a joke. Lets say you are a Microsoft only shop. It is likely you are supporting at least 3 different Microsoft operating systems (Like win2000, winXP, and Vista) If you are a software vendor supporting business you are supporting those plus Linux and Unix flavors. How are you going to address that need with anything as Kewl as Java. Poor me another cup boys. Lets crank it up.
