Let's say this update does everything advertised and more, the perception remains that Java is just not usable in the browser--it's just too dangerous.

Away from testing purposes, the only reason we use IE in the office is so that we can use Webex without Java.

Talk about security.

Is ActiveX more dangerous than Java applets? If so, that's news to me, but I'm all ears.
