hehe - try using that approach in the corporate world, where in a single
company (like mine) you have 000,000s PCs with Java on. Java updating
itself with new features is the last thing we want - it'll break more
than one app amongst those machines - it always does.
Hell, most corporates are only now just finishing their windows XP roll
out and XP is 4 years old with Windows Vista just around the corner.

That's fine. In the corporate world they can easily do the thing that
freezes the JVM and gives corporate control. The default however
should be to autoupdate.
