Now that Java is going GPL, does that change your opion about applets

OpenLaszlo (Flash-based) or a Java Applet? How about an applet or

I think for rich, internet-delivered applications, WebStart is an even
better method than applets, ajax, or flash. Such applications are
web-delivered but run standalone, and aren't even in the web
browser so
you aren't tempted to try clicking on the back button. I find the web
browser as an application-delivery mechanism is a pain no matter if it
is flash, ajax, or java applets. While ajax has helped web pages be
more dynamic, and enabled things like gmail to work almost as well
as a
standalone app, I think shoehorning everything into a web browser pane
is a mistake.
So by that logic, all they have to do is open a browser window with
no controls and you'd be happy with that? ;)
