Tim Bray is not shy about his opinions, sometimes taking the stance of the loyal opposition in his role as Sun's director of Web technologies. Here he lays out a vision for Sun in two years: a smaller company that has conceded stewardship of Java and the JCP to the developer community, and has instead become the vendor of the "Web application deployment platform of choice."

Since he won't allow comments: "the war for the desktop is over and the Web Browser won". Wrong. The web browsers is not the place for business apps. Even with AJAX. If the Browser really has won then i suggest we go back to pen and paper.

Agreed. The browser is great, and AJAX has really made interactive things much nicer, but there are entire classes of applications that function better in a desktop (or at least "rich") environment. Games, Photo Editors, IDEs, yada, yada. I always try to make things work on the web first, but if the web--including AJAX--isn't up to the challenge, then you have to consider Java, Flash, or something else.
