Re: saving the desktop

In and of itself, no. I would argue, though, that was Java's fault, not Apples. However, lack of Java support on Mac seriously damages the possiblity of desktop Java seeing widespread adoption.

Only the True Believer talks about desktop Java in the future tense at this point. Look, I've done most of my Java work on the desktop or in applets, but it's been over 10 years now, and it hasn't taken off. What's going to change that, particularly given Sun's neglect of the client side for most of the 2000s?
