my little contribution: People download binaries off the net all the time. Code gets infected and infects PCs. Big deal.
You don't seem to understand the issue here. Netscape with JAVA is supposed to become more or less the 'only' program you will run, a kind of superimposed operative system, or your main shell for running 'everything' from. Much of 'everything' will be downloaded at the time of execution. (Microsoft is supposed to be reduced to one of several 'kernel-suppliers' only.) And 'infected PCs' really *are* a very big deal in corporate and institutional surroundings. Mats
