Somewhat ironic considering you'd think banks would do a security assessment of the technologies they use.

Yikes!

Small percentage but still interesting. Although if this functionality didn't exist, would it really be missed? I suppose these are the people playing on guest computers/at work. Wonder how many of those 33% of people have an up-to-date Java plugin?

Yes, this is somewhat unfortunate and someone should really light a fire under the HTML5 implementors. However, I wouldn't call it essential since you can archive/zip/tar a bunch of files and upload them all at once and do the processing server side.

Agreed. Except the common user likely doesn't even know it's enable or how to disable it. Thankfully, Firefox disables by default now.

Yea, I have an idea of what would happen ... we'd have a ton less people getting their boxes easily owned because they visited some webpage and happen to have some old technology installed that they don't ever even use.
