About
applets, I can't say I've heard a major virus infecting from applets, yet applet web sites have dissappeared one by one. Many gaming sites that used applets are gone or have replaced the technology with javascript /ajax / html5. e.g. playok.com I believe replaced all their games, the other two sites I used for gaming, yahoo games and blip.se completely stopped serving. And the sites left, have to deal with
java runtime requiring you to go into a control panel and add the site to your setting instead of just hitting run.
I think flash and silverscript going same way. iphone did not allow flash webpages etc..
of course, there was a paradigm change coming with vista, with user access control and security. Is it that applets break that barrier, or what is exactly prompting not using applets anymore?
