Hyperbole. IIRC, the installer dialog said "3 billion". ;-)
I am happy for one thing. After having used the Control Panel feature introduced in 7u10 to allow disabling Java in all browsers via one checkbox, when I ran the 7u11 update and subsequently -- carefully! -- checked, I found that Java remained disabled in all the browsers on the system.
Hallelujah! Finally -- much too late, IMO -- one can apparently (I'd continue to manually verify, for the near if not foreseeable future) disable Java in the browser(s), and the setting sticks.
Prior to this, after each update, I'd have to go into all the browsers on the system and manually disable the Java plugins -- at least I had to until some, but not all, of the browser makers got smart and started ensuring that disabled Java plugins remained disabled, despite the Java installer's attempts.
And even disabling the browser plug-ins was apparently not sufficient, for IE:
