So maybe things don't look so good for Netscape (although they still have a 
big head start on M$ in implementing java), but this sounds like good news for 
all the java purists on this group who simply want everyone to support java.

And it's nice to know that for once M$ are being forced to follow trends set 
by someone else, and even (*gasp*) adhere to /open/ standards like java and 
javascript!
