Sure would be nice if there was a way to port the Navigator code to a more
"Universal 
Binary" or something such as a JAVA platform that would be capable of running
not only 
on a PC but  on MAC OS X, or LINUX, LINDOWS,  LINSPIRE,  SUN, and many more 
similar to how  iTunes is capable of running on PC's and MAC's. 
 
Now that there's more and more vendors using JAVA AJAX like Goggle Mail and
many 
others, it makes sense to create a client capable of running on many different
kinds of 
computers.  Hey, don't believe me in how powerful JAVA and/or JAVA Script use
can 
be..? Go out to http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ and see just how powerful one single
 
"default.html" file can really be.  Imagine the type of knowledge-base you
could build on 
WC6 using this kind of technology combined with proper authentication security.
 
And now might be a good time to research this since MS VISTA is only a few more
 
months away and it's using AERO which is almost the same thing as Cocoa,  the 3
 
dimensional GUI core of OS X. 

Since Release Candidate #2 for VISTA came out last week it might make sense to
focus 
in this direction so the new OS doesn't eliminate using existing WcNAV stuff on
 it.
