If you plan to Update to the new Java 6 Update 7 be careful. If you do not uncheck the Open Office option at the start of the download it will install Open Office on your system

Odd. I installed J6U7 today on two PCs. I saw (and unchecked) the Google
Toolbox (which has been there for several of the past updates as well) but
just saw an "ad" for Open Office. There was no check box to uncheck. I see
no Open Office installed on either PC after doing the java update.

I got the Open Office on one computer and the Yahoo tool bar on another.

Yes, it's only an ad for Open Office, not a download. It's also present in
the J6u6 update.
