Yes. AWT runs in a different security domain than the Applet, it can use
threads, I/O, the works.
Many Applets including those I write use threads, not all browsers are
nice about it (I had my share of problems with Netscape). Appletviewer
is open to anything, IE 4.0 has a configurable policy (you can
allow/prevent thread creation).
