Hello iGP,

I wanted to suggest that you replace Java as your environment for iGP as soon as you can. The reasons:

1. It makes the game unusable on Windows 8 metro and Windows RT.
2. It makes the game unusable on iOS devices.
3. It is currently affected by serious exploits. Serious enough for the US government to advise people to uninstall it. I know several people who have done so. I am considering making a separate VM just to run Java and iGP.

The main reason I would like to see it replaced is due to number 1: I am going to switch from using a Windows 7 notebook to using a Windows 8 tablet on the go, which for me would at this point mean no more iGP Manager, which would be a real shame for me.
Regards,

Eyo Sama...

Java 7 is the problem as I understand it. I believe Java 6 is ok. It takes a few extra clicks but you can get Java 6 update 38.

Wow, just... wow.  Never thought I'd hear someone recommend a downgrade as a vulnerability solution.
I agree with the OP; if it's possible to move to HTML5, then do it!

Completely agree- please move away from Java!
