Java's has this for years, I'm unclear why the windows weenies are getting so horny over .NET.

".Net 1.1 binaries off the internet" aka applets
"Whidbey's click-once application deployment model" aka java webstart
"With Longhorn's Avalon and XAML" aka SwiXML, Ibex, Luxor, Thinlet, Beryl and many more

So quit coming in your pants for .NET technology that will be available 2006/7 and just do it TODAY with java. If you say that the GUI it's fast jdk 1.4.2 fixed that. Or use SWT. The memory footprint of java and .NET is too close to see any differences

Microsoft is copying JAVA to make .NET. and the copy won't be complete until 2006/7.

paradigm shift.... My arse
