Hi. A "noddy" installation question...

With Java 7 it was advised to install Java 32 bit even on a Windows 7 64 bit machine to give 32 bit web browser compatibility.

Is this still the case for Java 8 JSE and JDK (and Netbeans)? Or have they fixed the browser incompatibilities so that a JSE 64 bit install works ok?

The Oracle Java 8 installation instructions are unclear on this. They talk only of installing JSE 64 bit on 64 bit Windows and the old 32 bit .v. 64 bit advisory only covers Java 6 and 7 (perhaps because its not been updated for 8) - but it does advise using JSE 32 bit for 32 bit browsers on a Windows 64 bit machine.

Many thanks.
