Java Update

Oracle pushed out an update to Java yesterday bringing the version up to Java 7 update 65. They also clarified their position on updates for Windows XP: Java updates will continue to work on Windows XP but they will not be fixing any issues that only affect XP.

Another update Tuesday

Yesterday Microsoft pushed out security updates for Windows and Internet Explorer. Adobe also pushed out a security update for Flash player (version 14.0.0.145). Oracle says there is an update for Java due next Tuesday but it will not be compatible with Windows XP (which Microsoft has already ended support for earlier this year).
