Although there are still some rather out of touch individuals who don't understand this, the vast majority of software is not found shrink-wrapped and sitting on the shelves of retail stores. I have to say that every month for the past two years the shelves of bookstores have been expanding to hold Java titles from Beans to JNI to Security and more. Java is now the largest single segment under lanugages. This demand is being fueled by commercial use of the technology for distributed access across heterogeneous environments. Comparing the barf-bag mixture of add-on solutions which have been adopted by most Windows development environments to Java's clean and elegant mechanisms for reuse, persistence, security, reliability, distribution, component construction, potability and development environment integration is like comparing roadkill to filet mignon. Visual Basic, Power Builder and Delphi are rarely used to develop retail applications, I think Java will break that mold and take hold in both home-retail and commercial environments.
