Interesting article -- thanks for passing on the link. I didn't realize
that users had to do anything besides enable java to get it to run from
a browser. The following paragraph caught my eye especially -- wish
"Java" could be replaced with "Flash" throughout (or are they making
this sound easier than it really is?):
"With Java Web Start, Java applications are launched through a web
browser by simply clicking on a link to download and run the
application, just as a user would to go to a web page. Java Web Start
applications, however, do not rely on the web browser's innate support
of the Java platform. Rather, Java Web Start determines which version of
the Java platform is necessary for the Java application to execute and
automatically makes that support available"
