Hmm, maybe because not every POV user is running Windows NT/2K/XP or a Unix
that is professionally administered by someone full-time?
Most people don't even know how to turn on/off java, let alone do they know
how to properly configure file/directory privileges in their system.  And
there are still many who run Windows 95/98/ME, which don't have any kind of
file/directory privileges.
