On the fist page of Wall Street Journal today there is an article stating
that Microsoft is dropping support for java in its WindowsXP.  XP customers
will have to download java plugin to execute java code (applets I suppose
the article means).  Not only that, Windows will tighten security so much so
that even java applets might be viewed as possible security threats!

Once I read that , I could not remember reading any thing this stupid for a
long time:

1. How on earth is java a security threat?  Compared to word and other
Microsoft Macros any thing is secure, I think!!

2. Microsoft says that users can change security settings on their
XP/Browser and can just download a java support.  Is Microsoft OR any one in
his/her right mind expect users to do this.  A process that requires
computer savvys and more time than it might be worth it for some.

3.  I feel this is the end for client side java.  Do you agree?
