Maybe the time has come for Java. Before, the problem was download time and
the fact that MS created incompatibilities between browsers. Today, with broadband connections, the download time for Java applications is not a big factor. What we need is support for caching Java applications with versioning, so you only have to download them once, and can use them offline. We also need better sandbox capabilities and options built into the browser for all of the security issues. And, today, we have FireFox, which is a simple download, thus, if MS will not cooperate 100%, sites can easily require a FireFox downoad for advanced features. Who knows, maybe there is a group of engineers at Google that has been working overtime on this as we speak.
