The title says it all, folks. Everyday users are now able to download Java 1.4.2_06, the version that fixes the plug-in security hole revealed last week.
According to Sun (via Javalobby), over 1.9 million people have downloaded the update, about 1 million of which were in the past 24 hours (presumably since the fix was released on Java.com).

The domain java.com hadn’t been used for a long time. Sun used java.sun.com and javasoft.com before.
Anyone has premium account on whois.sc? I’m curious to know who owned this domain before Sun got it.

Eh, Sun is as bad as microsoft. We’ve had a few guest lecturers from Sun give talks. They consistently make digs at MS.
Whenever a MS guy comes in he talks about what he set out… I guess its still cool to be anti-ms in computing ;)
