Some of you are familiar with limits of applets. Web start (JNLP)
allows for a more of a rich user interface then what we can do w/
Applets and DHTML. But deploying Java, applets and applications over
the internet can be a challenge, including security warnings for
registered applications and installation of current version of java by
non-computer savvy users of our applications (can your father in law
install and launch a WebStart application?)
The lead of Sun's Java deployment team and usability experts (Mike
Albers -J2SE UI expert will be there hopefully) will answer your
questions at 11 AM California time and guide you. Here are the details
of how to participate for FREE:

Some people are *boycotting* the chat conference because of issues
since about 2001(it appears that a individuals at Sun believe that they
should PERVENT deployment - that they are doing us a favor, listed
here:

One important issue was picked up here (Scary screen for registered
applications)
http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=315&tstart=0
Sun's stance is that it's RFE and will not address it with wide
deployment of Java 6 (aka Mustang) in 2007, and not on JRE 1.4.x
updates, and will not do word smiting to clarify the application is
registered.
Another issue is deploying/update Java by corporate end users at
organizations that have a LAN admin.
