Hey all, I think the Java discussion is probably getting quite a bit off-topic for this mailing list. :) But, just to answer a few of the things brought up -- ClearType refers to Microsoft's version of sub-pixel anti-aliasing on LCD monitors. Java won't support that until the next release (Mustang). So, fonts in a Java application just won't look quite as good as a pure native application at the moment. However, Java apps can still look pretty darn good. Spark is pure Java and uses Swing as the UI library. You can view screenshots at http://www.jivesoftware.org/spark.
