But look at the bright side: there are probably many other really simple yet useful things that can be done to make java more useful on the desktop and this will be a marketing win for alternative JVMs.
That would be to be able to write small java programs which start fast, and which does not have a massive JVM overhead for each.
Basically pull the same trick that Microsoft did with their JVM - have the preloaded Java environment being able to spin off new instances fast, giving the end user the impression that "this is just another little program".
Personally I think it would be great for Linux desktops and utilities. -- Thorbjørn
