        That would depend on what you mean, or what you want, by the word 
"transparent".  That means IE installs it without the end-user knowing it.  Virus does 
that as well ;-)

        As a matter of fact, installing JRE is just "next", "next", "next".  If this 
isn't simple enough for an end-user, sorry to say that, I think his IQ is well below 
100.  Computer is probably not for him.  Well, he could go to a video shop and rent a 
film.  That's certainly easier :-D

        True, but there're also other JRE which are more performant than Sun's, even 
though I don't know which one is best.
