Won't this completely kill some Mac users? I believe Snow Leopard (10.6) has finally reached Java 6, but Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (which is still widely used) doesn't have a Java 6 release at all. And it's no good saying "upgrade to 10.6" because Mac Minis and other machines only have 0.5GB memory and the base for 10.6 is 1GB, so upgrades on really very recent hardware are virtually impossible.
