Don't you sort of need java to do a lot of useful things? A lot of Bit Torrent and Gnutella clients use java.

I wish they didn't go the JAVA route :frown: I HAD to install it to print some postage.
 

You know you hit a page with a Java applet when the browser grinds to a halt and there is a grey box in the middle of the screen. I have been coding Java since 1996 and I will be the first to admit that it's the ugliest, slowest language for client apps. It's embarrassing that after 8 years Sun still can't make a decent looking GUI for it.

doesn't Java Runtime engine ship with all Windows OS's now?? i know for a short period of time, MS pulled it because of their lawsuit with sun.

but i heard all the newer copies of WinXP Pro all come with Java RunTime.
