• Heading off a major drawback to desktop adoption.
  Aside from the legal issues, which are important to a healthy environment for OSS, this will be a great boon for Linux and other open source operating systems. I have been a Linux user for quite a while now, and I am finally comfortable installing the JRE, but I can assure you that 98% of all potential desktop users would not be able to. Especially since the instruction page is always out of date and has the wrong version in the example instructions. It also assumes you have a pretty good understanding of *nix tree structure and file permissions. Windoz is d/l, one click and you are installed. For OSOS's to gain acceptance they need to make these plug-ins available in the initial distro.
