IMHO, the general utility of Java is probably less than the games.
Think of the uproar on corporate desktop years ago when they tried to
remove solitaire and minesweeper!  What was a Minesweeper Certified
Solitaire Expert supposed to do?

I think there's only one web site I regularly visit that uses Java (and
in a way I want to work): the National Weather Service animated maps.  I
visit a lot more sites that use flash (which I know we can't have fully
functional due to patents).  I know Java is not strictly a web thing,
but how much is there on the DVD that uses it?  If some corporate app is
going to be installed, Java can be installed then as well.

Alternative: dual/double layer DVDs have come down in price a good bit.
/me ducks and runs

Where can I find a list of the current package set that goes on the DVD?
I know I should know, because I think I've asked before, but I don't
remember.
