But if by being used to such windows people understand that they're not necessarily to be trusted, I don't see why that'd be an attractive way of slipping in a trojan horse.
Well, that "if" is a critical hypothetical. I'm assuming a model in which people perform most of their legitimate network transactions through Java windows. So I think they will be accustomed to typing financial identifiers or whatnot into windows labelled "Untrusted Applet Window". Many will become desensitized to the UAW warning label. I believe the work on authenticating applet servers to client in terms of signed Java classes, etc. is the most promising long-term approach. ObNSB: Although I seem to be cast as an opponent of Java adoption in this thread, I'm actually a fan of Java and expect to write some Java code RSN.
