Reviews Security is improved thanks to the bundled firewall and Java-style sandbox technology, while wizards make networks much easier to create and link together. XP also borrows Java's idea of a sanitised sandbox where suspect code -- for example, in...

Lotus Notes/Domino 8, Beta 2 review
Reviews The Notes applications need to be tweaked slightly for this to work, but once this is done they can be combined with any system that already has an Eclipse front end, or where you have Java developers available to write one.

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition RC1 tested review
Reviews Missing 64-bit plug-ins such as Shockwave, Flash and Java VM mean that the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer cannot render numerous Web sites. As far as browser plug-ins are concerned, 64-bit versions of Flash, Shockwave and Java VM should be...

Annoying software: a rogues' gallery review
Reviews Java Java doesn't do anything by itself. Java doesn't know this. Java wants to be in your face. Java wants to be updated. Java wants to tell you the good news about Sun. Java's installed a copy of Yahoo Toolbar in your browser instead.

Vodafone Power Handheld review
Reviews The idea is that corporates will write their own software, probably based around the .NET Compact Framework, Macromedia's Flash or Java (the pJava Java Virtual Machine is built in). The docking cradle is pretty much a must for desktop...

Siemens SK65 review
Reviews Java is supported, too. Siemens says there is 30MB of on-board storage for emails and Java applications, but we actually found more than this. With no way to expand the on-board memory, no music player and limited access to third-party software...

Microsoft Live Meeting 2005 review
Reviews Participants have the option of installing the client (via a link in an email invitation) or running the browser-based Java client. The latter option is handy for non-Windows PCs or for corporate environments where installing your own desktop...

F5 FirePass 4100 review
Reviews There’s a Java-based alternative for situations where ActiveX is not allowed, and it’s possible to pre-install the software on clients where desktop settings are locked down. Remote desktop support is an optional extra, if required; other features...

Netscape 7.0 review
Reviews For example, we did away with Java 2.0, Winamp and RealOne Player, which brought the download size to a much more manageable 15MB. You probably already have Java and a bevy of media players installed on your PC, so there's no need to download them...

Sony CLIE PEG-NX70V review
Reviews However, we wish that we could view sites in landscape mode (horizontally), and access Java-enabled pages. The surfing experience isn't as fast as you'd get from a notebook or a desktop computer, but the freedom to roam without wires is liberating.

Billion Electric BiGuard S10 review
Reviews As a result, no software needs to be installed, with ActiveX and Java applets downloaded to the client browser as required. Proxies are used to provide browser-based access to common applications, such as XP Remote Desktop using Microsoft's RDP proxy.

RIM BlackBerry 7230 review
Reviews With J2ME on-board, RIM is touting the BlackBerry's expansion into the Java realm, which is a plus. And Web Client now offers some wireless syncing; if you delete email on the 7230, it will also be deleted on your desktop.
