Rick,

> Of all the major Vendors out there Microsoft actually has a real strategy for Web apps, with an app model that allows running apps off the Web with access to the Windows 10 device features which is promising as a first step in the direction I'd like to see apps go: remotely hosted and deployable with app store or 'curated' approval to minimize malware.

Could you go into detail how/where the MS model of deployment is better than Java Webstart (as long as you allow for the Java runtime to be expected to be installed) ? The Java App is running as a local process, so all device features available via Java or API call should be possible. Or were you thinking of the Westminster angle of universal apps?
