Their Java issue was mostly around adding in the box COM support, they 
could have done the same via JNI, but it would not have worked as well.

IE was just a different tact than NN, but just as valid.  Adding COM 
into the browser lead to many other issues, especially around email 
rendering.  Of course browser plugins were a problem all the way around. 
Flash was particularly bad.
