If I had to say one positive thing about ActiveX over Java, it is that at least you don't end up with all the compatibility issues with ActiveX.

At our place we have some applets that require a version of Java 6, they'll work with Java 7 but only if the security settings are changed. Then a different site comes along and requires Java 7 or early Java 8, then Java says "I need updating" and people do that and it breaks both sites as the later Java 8s require signed apps. And if they uninstall it then it goes back to Java 6 which breaks the second site.

I detest Java :(

Well it only works in IE and on Windows so...

At least Java fails to work on every platform in the universe.

I'm out of nothing, though I could do with some more.

Don't in any way get the idea that I like Java. I don't. And, as I think I've mentioned here before, I have to use an International regulatory database using Java that suffers from exactly the version incompatibilities that you mention.

Java is a right royal PITA.

But, also what Xen sed.
