Even if the technology is in the beta stages at the very least make the deployment as seamless or transparent to the user as possible. This is something that both Adobe and Microsoft have figured out early and quickly. But for some reason Sun seems to have it’s head so far up it’s butt it doesn’t seem to realize it will not succeed on the desktop market if it’s deployment is anything but straightforward. Security prompt dialogs? 5-10 minute downloads for a 800kb webstart demo? I can’t even get the javafx “simple video player” to run. And you expect this technology to be used for multimedia rich sites like You Tube? Guys you gotta stop smoking that crack and sober up, it’s 2009 now. 5 years ago this would have been acceptable but come on Sun you keep hyping up these technologies yet you consistently fail to deliver.

Is it incompetence? Arrogance? Lack of Vision? Or maybe it’s just lack of good leadership where sun has now inevitably slid into the abyss? It’s 2009 now and Sun has been bought out by Oracle. I would of prefered IBM but something tells me that at the very least Oracle won’t hype but actually implement technologies they are committed too whatever they may be.

JavaFx homepage doesn’t use javaFx because it’s a official site for all cross platform and JavaFx doesn’t support all cross platform yet. that’s the idea ..
