Had a quick email with Richard on this one... Here is a question I had... Richard M.

You load up a document, fine, run the app fine, find an external reference and then KICK OFF AN EXECUTABLE. If the browser is written in pure .NET or pure Java and the object that is kicked off is pure .NET and pure Java then it is not an executable application. Why? Because Java and .NET do not posses the concept of an executable. Two Java or .NET "executables" can run in the same process. (That is why people have to be careful with statics since one app can reference the static of another app.) Christian Gross
