 Nothing stopping applications prompting you to download a VM-plugin or
 something, like CF5 does for the cfform components.

Anyone using Windows XP actually try this and get it to work.  Recently
I was talking to some XP beta users who said something to me about not
being able to run Java because XP had a number of dll's with the same name
as Java - when Java installed, XP quit working...

RE: microsoft and Java advice

 I know there's applets and servlets, are both going to 
 be useless in 
 the future? maybe I should learn Microsoft's version of Java?

It means IE wont run Java applets by default ('microsoft virtual machine').

 What does this mean for NEO since I heard its going to a 
 completely Java 
 based platform

Well, it's written in Java and run through a servlet server, so will be
uneffected.
