Java would be a great choice if it wouldn't bother you with massive updates it autoloads. Besides that I man ot so sure about the market penetration of Java. Javascript has for us a 97% penetration, but Java runtime? No data available... Good to see you here!

Long time no see! Everything ok there? What about Java? Java offers all you need and more (with Java Web Start/JavaFX). Java's market penetration is excellent, it's proven technology and it's one of the fastest platforms around (really; have a look at: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/). In comparison to Adobe AIR or Silverlight, Java is more open; You will not be restricted to one vendor whenever you start building on top of Java. By the way; if you are interested in technology that mixes the browser and the platform you might also be interested in Mozilla's XUL. Hey Remko!
