Because of all the crypto annoyances with Java 6 not having JCA,
nextgens, p0s, and I were discussing upgrade paths to Java 7.

We established that:
* Oracle will begin auto-updating some Windows users from 32-bit Java
6 to 32-bit Java 7 in December 2012. This is scheduled to expand to
all Windows users in February 2013. [0]
* On 64-bit Windows 32-bit Java is recommended, and 64-bit Java does
not currently have auto-update capabilities. [1]

Upon looking into it I'm not so confident that Java 7 does away with
crypto strength limitations. It seems like both 6 and 7 require
installation of policy files to get larger key sizes. [2][3] Am I
missing something?

Thanks,
