I think checking the stuff at the link I gave is good as you could
have a client read what is there, and question you about the
reports shown their, including downloading the one that has other
report links in it, such as Java.

This way you know what they are saying and can rebut any ideas the
client may have gotten from these reports.

Forewarned is forearmed.  It just follows the overall advice
of Sun Tzu which can be boiled down to 'know your enemy'.
