Is Java Runtime Environment A Dangerous Install?

Java is no longer in fashion because of .NET which is part of OS.

Both Java and .NET are same thing in that they're both managed run time environments.

The only reason why you would need Java is if you need to install some program that depends on Java runtime.
Otherwise Java is safe software but no longer popular since most new managed software runs on .NET.
