    Description

      "JavaScreenshot.bmp" shows the Software Management Panel after installing -b32 and ontop 6u11. Notice that I have checked (!) the "show updates" checkbox. The box correctly shows all updates to the latest Windows Service Pack. But it shows NO updates to Java 1.6 (it should show u10 and u11 as different updates to be compliant with the windows installation guidelines from microsoft). So once again it behaves "not like a good Windows citizen". :-( Java prior to 1.6 shows updates as new software packages (bad). Java later than 6u10 shows no updates at all (bad, too). Why not just do what microsoft says and show updates as updates, depending on that check box? Windows users dislike that Java always does things in non-Windows-ways. :-(
