I think the biggest misconception about the web is thinking that there is someone else in charge, and there isn't. The Internet is just us.

So there is your point
While I don't think Desktop App relevance is as important as Chris does to get Apple to support Java, this puts the whole thing in a Catch-22: Apple doesn't support it because desktop Java is irrelevant -> Desktop Java can't get relevant because Apple doesn't support it.
So, then would it be in Sun's interest to get Desktop Java relevant by getting it better supported on Mac? :-)
Truth be told, a few years ago, Mac OS X was clearly the premiere Java platform -- widely-lauded L&F, current Java installed by default on every system, etc. Did that save desktop Java?
