I read somewhere (might be mis-remembering) that as internet exploder
and netscape seemed to be having different ideas on what java is and
thus breaking portability ("you have to view this website with ie else
you will get loads of errors") Sun where going to provide a ?JVM?
replacement for ie with one for netscape soon to follow - could that
maybe fill the hole?
