Thinking to it, there's something i don't understand with Java
embedded. 

 You have a remote machine with a JVM running, fine. 

Since the applets you download on this remote machine are only running
inside the JVM, what can they really do, except stealing CPU cycles ? 

At one time or another, you have to interact with the remote machine,
thus breaking the portability of your applet. In this case, what is
the JVM good for ?
