just read in wired that the bare minimal download of IE5 will have no

Java support. This will require a download by the user if they go to a

Java site.


Sounds familiar.


<utopia>

so if Flash becomes a standard and Java will require a download by a

great many IE5 users, then it looks like we may get to turn the tables

on Java. Imagine Clients saying "Java?? But what about the download?.

No, just give us a Flash version and be done with it, at least that is

standard."    ;)

</utopia>


ok ok, so I know that if they strip java from the bare minimal version,

then Flash support may not be in there either (If it ever is) but it's

late afternoon- time for dreams.


Time for a splash of cold reality in the face me thinks...pass the jav..

er the coffee I mean.
