Stop me if you’ve heard this one. “Our agreement with Company Y will produce products that will change your fundamental life. We are going to change the world!”. The growing anticipation is almost unbearable. Rumours fly, stocks go up, some jackass gets richer. Finally, the day comes when the world gets to see the product we’re told we can’t live without and it’s…..a toolbar, that most people can’t use for security reasons. Or a two-wheeled scooter that gets banned in 80% of the cities within weeks. Who the hell are these guys kidding? I’m sure Google and Sun are going to do some cool stuff with the Google Toolbar, but including a JRE in it isn’t going to change the world my friend. It’s going to remove the idea of choice that Sun goes on about all the time. As pointless as it would have been, I almost wish they had announced the web-based Office Suite everyone thought they were going to. At least it would have been something tangible.
