>>Consumers flat out refused to have anything to do with downloading the software needed to create digital wallets on their PCs. Denis Yaro, executive vice president at CyberCash in Reston, Va., admits ruefully that the company learned that lesson the hard way. "Making people download software was a loser, " he says. And tolerance for downloads only got lower as newer, less cybersavvy shoppers went online. I'm hoping Yahoo! moves to atuomatically downloaded Java Applets for EBPP. With a click of a hot link on the Yahoo! finance page all the applicable finance software (like Quicken Lite) could be downloaded in a matter of seconds. This is similar to the Datek Streamer download. Advantages: 1. No visit to the download site. No wait . No restart windows. 2. Automatic updates each time to correct bugs and add features. Maybe the Yahoo! toolbar is a step in this direction.
