Sun Microsystems executives Rich Green and Nandini Ramani showed the JavaFX environment at the JavaOne Conference in San Francisco.

RE: JavaOne '08: Sun demos JavaFX platform
While the direction of the Web has been to thin clients, this it THICK. Yes it auto-downloads into either the browser or the desktop. It's not really a Web application. MS Word can run in a browser or the desktop, but it is not a Web application. Same here.
