When I reinstalled Windows last December, I didn't install the Java Plugin on purpose, because U of I's Blackboard Learning System (branded Illinois Compass) does a Java check on each login. This Java check takes forever, and is much shorter if Java is not installed (which makes no sense). I have not had any reason to install Java for three months. It was a great decision, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to speed up their Illinois Compass browsing times.

unfortunately, not installing java has the side effect of breaking functionality of other sites (like, certain parts of facebook).
:-(
I guess I don't visit those areas of Facebook. What functions exactly? Scrabulous?
