How interesting. I agree it is unfortunate that Java apps never took off, but that may change, or something like java will replace it. Maybe it was a technology before it's time - or promised more than it delivered, it did have it's flaws. Silverlight and flash are trying to take that place, but no one really wants a proprietary solution. As for the browser it has it's place, but it's not going to replace thick clients and OS's at least not in the near future.
