    Why is the article title "Another Java Security Hole in Windows"? The title seems to be assuming that there are many, as if really saying, "Oh no! Another Java Security Hole in Windows? What will I do?!?!" Rather, there have been suprisingly few security holes in Java considering the inherent complexity of the JVM and the Java APIs. There are other pieces of popular software that we need to be much more concerned about.
