"Java SE 6u25 does not add any fixes for security vulnerabilities beyond those in Java SE 6u24. Users who have Java SE 6u24 have the latest security fixes and do not need to upgrade to this release to be current on security fixes."
It looks like the big change is adding support for SP1 for Server 2008 SP2 / Windows 7 as well as IE 9 / Firefox 4 / Chrome 10 / etc.

It's been out for a week already, and that's 'lots of time for the hacks to do
their dirt in reverse-engineering. I say do it.

Only the Win7x64 did not delete the 6u24 version 'automatically' when I upgraded manually and that was because it was the 32bit jre version previously and I installed the 64bit version this time.
