Improvements in the JVM make it a real long term alternative to AJAX. Web Start circumvents the browser compatability issues that are so inherent in javascript. Although there are issues with Web Start for now, I do see it being a real contender. Although installing the virtual machine still is an issue, this will not be a problem as high speed internet access becomes more prevalent.

Check out Mozilla Amazon Browser http://faser.net/mab It is written in Javascript, use CSS for the layout and DOM for the UI. Using XULRunner the same application could be distributed like a .exe Using the Mozilla Platform and Javascript you can develop an application that run on desktop, as a Firefox Extension and as a desktop application without changing the code.

The client itself is also fully written in JS, CSS, XUL and HTML. So yeah, web standards are going places (and have been for some time), and that's definitely a good thing!
