I'm using Java 8 beta and seems to work great. It's on beta 65 currently so quite stable software IMO.

java should do what flash is doing now and put auto updates in their java program because java is soo all over the place in terms of keeping their software standardized. i mean java 7.9 has been out for a while while many computer users are still running java 5 and don't even realize it.

Considering the Android and BlackBerry SDKs only support Java 1.6, developers won't be switching to Java 7 any time soon. Even on a consumer level, many programs still don't function properly when running under Java 7.
