I'm just doing a comparison with what this momentum was 2 years ago.  

Today, i don't hear no more of NC's, thin clients, don't see much Java
applets on the Web. 

 Java is just another proprietary technology. Don't see where the
revolution is except for SUN or IBM.

From a customer point of view, i don't see the advantage to replace a
monopoly by one another. And, as Windows still represents more than 80
% of the desktop OS, you would have to run Java apps on this platform
for a while. So, you rely on M$ for the OS and on SUN$ for the JVM !
If you have much money to spend, why not.

Enter Linux. It's Free, it's Fast, it's Simple, it's Customizable,
it's not Proprietary. Not bad.
