You don't have to block Java, a friend of mine is working for digitiviy
(www.digitivity.com) and they have a product called 'the Cage', this runs
the Java applet somewhere outside the firewall and redirects the drawing
calls to an applet running on the user's browser. Sounds interesting to
those paranoid about Java.
As for CraptiveX, I thought M$ abandoned it in favour of J/Direct?
