Unfortunately we'll probably have to force the users to download the plug-in, which although is pretty easy for us, it might not be for the average / sub- average user.
One benefit however is that this will have them use the latest Java plug-ins which means we can most likely assume that all browsers (or really the plug-in being used) is Java 2 compliant. That means we all can use Swing and other Java 2+ classes and such as freely as we do in actual apps. I don't think applets will go away. Although they are limited they have their use and are used in a lot of web pages for automated ads, login sites, specialized functions, search engines, etc. I don't think that all of these will be replaced by ASP/C# right away if at all, especially when a lot of the server side architecture is being developed so much in Java.
