I won't bother you more on this topic but I honestly do not think that there will be any progress worth mentioning (particularly on the fragmented OSS side) until Intel comes out with a open version of: http://ipt.intel.com I hope to make it easier for Intel by doing things in the opposite way, e

Unifying trust and even more private key storage has reasonable solutions in other operating systems. These solutions make sense for app-developers to use. I don't think that a quick fix can compensate for the more over-arching issue which really is a lack of product management. Fixing JDK would

I think you need to take a step back and consider which market and user-base you are targeting. Linux on the desktop? Why bother with that? Linux servers? Well, *that* could be interesting. Unfortunately it doesn't help much since most servers run JBoss etc so it is actually more a JDK problem.
