Apparantly, Gael Duval has leaked the first bits of information concerning his Ulteo project to the LXF magazine. "You can't fail to notice that in the screenshot he sent us, Ulteo is running inside a web browser. What's more, the screenshot also shows Duval creating a presentation on the 'Ulteo Connected Desktop'. Ulteo is going to be hosted on Duval's own servers, enabling users to connect to their own desktop from anywhere in the world. [...] The system administration and upgrades will be handled at the server end, as too will application installation. [...] Anyone with a browser will be able to use Ulteo - indeed, Ulteo is going to need a broadband connection to work - as the client will only require Java."

My experience with running Java apps inside a web browser
has been terrible. It's so bad that I want no part of
Java when it comes to using a browser.
For example, I can get Firefox to play nice with these
Java-based games Yahoo Games. Firefox (with Sun's JRE)
crashes like crazy adn IE is only slightly better. If it
has trouble with things like simple games, how am I
suppose to have confidence for serious apps?
I would rather they write a standalone cross-platform
client in Java instead.
