It doesn't mention that "Java SE 6" won't appear for users on older Intel machines (Intel Core and Intel Core Duo) even if their systems are fully upto date.

It seems that users on those platforms have to jump through hoops to use the open source soylatte version of the JVM and that's not without problems: http://gephi.org/forum/topic.php?id=3048

A possible alternative worth mentioning is using the Parallels VM (which supports OpenGL 2) could be used to host an alternative OS, such as Windows, Linux, Open Solaris, in which Gephi could run.
