JRE and Google Desktop?!

Can someone please tell me why on earth I was just asked if I wanted to install Google Desktop when installing Java’s new runtime?  I don’t enjoy using Java apps, and this sure doesn’t help its case with me.

Seriously, it’s a runtime platform.  Don’t ask if I want to install 3rd party helper applications!  Just so we’re clear, I’d be just as mad if Microsoft prompted to install other apps with the .NET Framework.  There’s just no excuse.  ‘

Damn you, Sun.  What’s next, QuickTime?  RealPlayer?
