Let me guess your office consists of engineers :)
Has anyone sit down with a non engineer and gave him a use test of java web start, let me tell you I have and most people find the security pop-up a very scary thing, they get confused and don't know what they should do.
Java Web Start has so many flaws i will not even start discussing them, i know that efforts are being made to make easier to use in future version of mustang. This kind of application only works well with technically savvy people, if you sit down with a "real" person, and register the reactions you will see that this is not a technology directed to the masses (NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME).
No access to file system (what native application does not have access to file system?), scary security digital signature/certificates pop-up, have you ever seen a native application do that? I haven't and until there is a seamless experience between native and web start applications it will not be ready for prime time.
