I have java 1.5.0_06-b05. When I open the java control panel and try to
update, I get the message that I have the latest version of java. Do I have
to go to the jave site to update?
David
Sun Java has released update 7.
Can that update be installed on top of the old version 6, or does that
version have to be removed first?

The new version has still not been posted on their download page, nor via
the live update.
Someone posted the direct link to the new version in one of these newsgroups
earlier, and that's how I downloaded mine. Sorry, but I no longer have the
link.

I had no problem getting it from their download page, and that was two

I just did an online installation of version 7. No problems whatsoever.
I decided not to remove version 6 before the installation and ended up with two entries in Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs), one for the old version 6 (119 mb) and one for the new version 7 (120 mb)
Removed old version 6 and now has only one entry for version 7. Everything works flawlessly.
Warning! The online install process gives you the choice of installing Google Toolbar and Google Desktop. They have the Google Toolbar checked, so be sure to remove the checkmark, if you don't want the Google Toolbar installed.

Where does it say "not"?
Don't add your own interpretations that do not mean what they say is
"recommended".
From the Sun Java link you provided:
"It is recommended that you keep older versions of the JRE on your system. "

Not quite!! It says "There might be some applications or applets
written and tested against a specific version of the JRE." Only under
these circumstances you need not remove the older onces. It also says:
"If you are running low on disk space, you can uninstall older versions
of the JRE."

What is MORE important is the version relative to actively exploited vulnerabilities and
Sun's Feb. 7, 06 bulletin # 102171 "Security Vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment
may Allow an Untrusted Applet to Elevate its Privileges"...
The Vundo Trojan is one example of of malware that exploits the above vulnerability.
