I was at Sun World yesterday when they announced this. The Java
demo was incredibly cool. It looks bound to a browser format right
now, and it doesn't run on many OS's yet, but they also announced
support for Win NT and Win 95, with MacOS next week. With Netscape
licensing it, and committing to port it to other OS's, it seems that
Java may just "make it."
