Why does an internet application have to be limited by a web browser? 
Who says web browsers are the center of it all (besides Netscape)?  We
(the proponents of Java the platform) have to think outside of the
envelope.  All a web browser does for Java, and has ever done for Java,
is to provide a default implementation of a ClassLoader - so you can
start a Java application and have all the needed classes get pulled
automatically.  This is a very small amount of code.  Why not put that
very small amount of code in a very small shell that accesses a
high-speed class server and starts your application across the
internet...

Leave HTML and web browsers to the massive number of consumers that are
playing with the new replacement to television.  Application designers
must think about the 'bigger picture' of the internet.
