Hopefully we'll start to see more cross-platform applications as Java catches on. The client-side "slowness" has been a problem for a lot of people (I've never heard so many complaints) but Java 6 address a lot of this. With the license change coming down the road, it's not unlikely that we'll start seeing applications pop up on unix/linux/windows/osx all at the same time. Can't wait!
