Almost every computer today have JWS installed as it comes with the Java JRE. It is harder today to get telnet running in vista than starting a program by clicking on a link using jws :P

Btw, here are some of the latest java updates:

Enhanced Java deployment
-------------------------------------
* The Java Deployment Toolkit takes the guess work out of determining what versions of the Java Platform end users have installed on their PCs. It supplies Java based web applet/application deployers with a simple JavaScript interface. This greatly increases the ease of detections of users' Java environment, as well as the ease of Java Platform deployment.

*The Java Kernel online installer lets first time Java users run applets and Java Web Start applications quicker without waiting for the whole Java Platform to be downloaded. The default Kernel installation is expected to satisfy the requirements of most Java applets and applications, and any additional libraries that may be required at runtime are downloaded to complete the Java Kernel installation. This installation mechanism let the end user get up and running significantly faster, while the complete Java Platform installation takes place in the background. See Java Kernel FAQ for more information.

* For current users of Java SE, the Java auto-updater has also been improved, using a patch-in-place mechanism that translates in a faster and more reliable update process (the patch in place mechanism will take effect for end users who upgrade from this update release or later to a new update release). As an added benefit, follow-on update releases will no longer be listed as separate items in the Windows "Add or Remove Programs" dialog.

* New Version Download and Pack200 Support
Ease of deployment: Server side requirements have been removed! We've added a new Java system property along with new support that will make it much easier for developers to deploy their Java applications or Applets through the network.

Improved performance and look & feel
-------------------------------------------------
* The Java Quick Starter feature will prefetch portions of the JRE into memory, substantially decreasing the average Java Platform cold start-up time (the time that it takes to launch a Java application for the first time after a fresh reboot of a PC).

* Next-Generation Java Plug-In
