You can never be sure about statistics, but I have a feeling that site is completely off regarding Java. My own sites have been above 90% for both Java and Flash penetration for quite some time now. Adobe has the most reputable stats I could find for Java and Flash in and (bottom of page) with 98.7% Flash and 87.5% Java penetration for Mar '07, although there is no mention of the Java versions.

Personally I do think Flash mud clients would be more appealing than a Java client. I have seen so many more interesting effects done in Flash over a Java applet, and with Flash, I don't get that few-second hang as I do whenever I start a Java applet.
