The browser wars may just become a little bit more interesting. Apart from Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Safari, another player is ready to join the field in what will most probably be released as a beta - you know, company policy - for the upcoming 23 years: Chrome. It's a webkit-based browser from Google. Update: It's out there, folks.

Not to mention that Java VMs, while certainly packing much more functionality, now have become monsters.
Back in 2000 the Microsoft java 1 VM included in IE was very light. It started immediately and you wouldn't notice a java app running in a corner for a little visual effect. The current VMs are monsters that will basically kill your browser with their starting process.
