Those stages introduce substantial delays. Delphi releases occur in 12-24 month intervals. SuperMemo releases occur in similar cycles. Assuming the worst timing alignment, it might take 3-4 years before some solutions are adopted. Naturally these components could be hard-coded manually but this is a time-consuming and bug-prone process that would only be used as a last resort in cases where the learning speed might be compromised

Applications built using JFC are not locked in to a specific look and feel. Using JFC, developers can create apps that either have a native platform look and feel or use the Java look and feel -- or they can create their own custom look and feel. The power lies in the hands of developers -- they can develop their products using the look and feel that is most appropriate for their users.

Yes. add features to the base OS; although some of them are too buggy or slow for daily use, they present an interesting look at how developers might create XP add-ins.
