I more than agree. I have recently developed several applications in Java for the desktop that I converted seemlessly to web apps as applets in just about 6 lines of code. I see a great potential here with applets, being able to do more than just display FLASHy graphics. Java is a more of a programming language than a graphics deployment platform. I know Java applets will soon be going places.
