Windows 8 and Java

I had dinner with a couple of nursing students this week.  One shared that she was not able to use Collaborate webinar software to hear teacher lectures because her new laptop with Windows 8 was not compatible with Java.  I did a search and found, Tips for Using Java on Windows 8, at http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/win8_faq.xml

It apparently worked, because I received an email from the student sharing that she now has Java on her laptop with Windows 8.
