        Description

        There are several pointers in the Java entry in the Windows Control Panel Programs and Features section. One of which is labeled "Update Information" and it is pointing to http://java.sun.com, while this currently redirects to the Java SE OTN site, it would be better for it to point to the java.com/verify so the user can check if they have the most up-to-date version and if not they will be directed to the latest.
