java is the only reason why i'm still using Windows

Could you be more specific? The problems that come to mind are:
1. To run Java in a browser, you need the right plug-in and it must be installed correctly: try the websites for Java and for the browser to get further details.
2. To run Java applications, you need the classpath set up correctly.
I hope this is helpful.
