Sorry to be impatient on this but where are we at on this? Waiting for
Sun?

This is a HUGE problem for me... this isn't "I can't play my party poker
or check my bills online." This makes my Ubuntu box completely
worthless. I am at a facility that uses a Cisco Java applet to
authenticate users on the network... no java plugin for my browser, no
Cisco applet, no login to web -> dead box.

In an era where the Internet is so important, I think its gateways
(browsers) and their associated functionality should demand the highest
priority from distro authorities. So much so that I would even vote to
take amd64 support out of Ubuntu *until* things like this are fixed. At
the very least take the amd64 download off the main downloads page.
Granted.. I know I am probably a very small minority of the users but as
it stands, i have no use for my box right now. Will have to fall back to
32 bit version until this is fixed.
