I welcome the availability of an ActiveX control for two reasons: (1) The reality is that Java is becoming less accessible due to the fact that Microsoft has decided to remove it from its browser. Installation of a JVM is less than transparent to the average end-user. (2) Microsoft's JVM far outperforms Sun's JVM due to the fact that it does JIT byte-code compilation into a Windows native executable form, whereas Sun's JVM is completely interpreted. This translates into a much slower VNC response than is the case for MS JVM or an ActiveX control.
