Downloaded the release and attended the Java SE 6 U10 conference call. It looks very nice and the draggable applets are really cool. I have also noticed NetBeans starts much faster.

I am looking forward to JavaFX Desktop running on U10.

Great job!

Potential Games running smoothly so far. I use a lot of translucency, so I'm looking forward to the performance boost (albeit only on the Windows platform).

The link "6u10 passes the Oracle E-Business Test at Oracle" doesn't work ...
