I just heard this mentioned on one of my most favorite podcasts, Buzz Out Loud, from CNet, a rad daily tech news show.

For you unfortunate Windows users, I know it can be scary to remove things from your computer. If you run out of space on your C Drive, here’s one small way to get some back.

Go to add/remove programs in your control panel and remove all the old versions of the Java Runtime.

I googled around to verify that this is safe to do. The old versions are not needed. The latest one is indeed complete and non-dependent.
