Clearly the chain of logic behind this reasoning did not consider Macintosh machines. Sun had stated that they were going to release a JAVA "plug-in" for both Netscape and IE, so that the JAVA will be "right" and "compliant" in both browsers. If they go ahead with this, then serious work should go into getting Sun to put the code on FreeBSD , as well.
