Also, depending on which browser you're using, some functions are different. So would the desktop break if you installed a different browser? Like it's fine if it runs IE, but lots of stuff I've written fails on Mozil

THe Java runtime itself is no longer slow. (Proof: the Standard WIndowing Toolkit from Eclipse.org has a faster GUI than Java's Swing)

Sun will probably be demo-ing Looking Glass, a very slick 3D/GL user-interface... a replacement for the "desktop" metaphor.
I can't wait to try it out... it's the first GUI I've seen that may be a suitable replacement for WindowMaker on my systems. (I don't like GUIs that eat up your desktop as well as memory and CPU)
