Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Java updaters on Windows do bundleware anymore. I know nearly all the free Windows antivirus updaters automatically install Chrome and set it as your default browser unless you pay close attention still.

The damage is done. Thank you Oracle.

That "bundleware" (as JohnTHaller calls it) stuff was going on before Oracle. I recall being disappointed that Oracle hadn't stopped it several versions into the Oracle rebranding.

Sun did that damage.
