I didn't know Microsoft has a ticket-system for receiving such requests.

Yes, i think what Ascend does here has nothing to do with any of Java's advantages.
If you get an .EXE you don't care about the language the source was written in, do you ?
Just that "Java-based" sounds good in some way ..
What about another aproach, like having .html and applets to make the configurator ?
That WOULD work on any platform, you would just need a browser to access the files.
Otherwise it's easy to imagine Kevin posting something like ..
