[…] Java SE is a perquisite for other packages like NetBeans […]
No, it isn’t. Java is a prerequisite for NetBeans et al: it is a necessary condition that Java be present in order to use software that depends on it. A perquisite is colloquially known as a perk: a fringe benefit, or a privilege, or an exclusive right.
The other sort of java (that is, coffee) is commonly made by perking, but in that case it’s short for percolate.

Default Programs was designed to help users make choices about their default behaviors. A large part of this is that defaults in Vista and beyond will be primarily controlled at the Per User level instead of the Per Machine level. This allows much more flexibility for the multi user computer environment that we believe is going to become the standard.
