Unfortunately, the only thing standard users are going to remember is "Java is bad". I've already had friends asking me about this and saying, "isn't it going to ruin my entire online experience to disable Java?". "No, that's JavaScript, different thing entirely."

And that's from people who work with computers all day as their main job. Looks like it may be difficult/impossible to get people to install Java client apps in future.
