Unfortunately, after [Java] 1.1, Microsoft didn't quite agree with [Sun] and stopped updating the version of [Java] that comes with InternetExplorer, the most common WebBrowser. Because of this, most applets you see on the internet today are limited to a very old version of [Java] and don't make use of all the new features in [Java] today (version 1.4.1 at the time of writing).
