Well, my first post of the thread was pretty dead on "nobody" vs  
"somebody". Yes, it's about semantics.

I'm interested in other uses of Java too, of course. You don't have to  
convince me that there are, and I think that the assertion is easy to  
demonstrate. Ricky added more examples, and I'm working with desktop  
industrial applications for years with big corporates. It's the end-user  
segment that, I think, need to be clarified.

So, I figure that the US judiciary system has some requirements similar to  
the one of auto-dealers you mentioned, or perhaps there's a technical  
problem with HTML and signed uploads (it looks as it's the same strict  
requirement for italian business consultants). Architecturally speaking,  
and considering that upgrade problems aren't rare circumstances, I'd  
probably prefer to see a webapp for that kind of software if I was in  
charge of it. So, it might even be *bad* to have Java there, but it's  
there. The presence of Java on the desktop is mostly underestimated, this  
is my point.
