Very nice. I only took a look in IE and on a Windows XP PC and required me to
download and upgrade the Java plugin.
Will one be able to display this in another browser Chrome or on another
platform like MacOS?

Me too.
This looks very exciting!

Yep, I tested it in Safari and Firefox on my Mac and in Firefox on XP before
posting it. I already had Java in both cases, but if I understand correctly it
does prompt you to download the plugin if you need it, right?

On my XP with already installed (and current) Java I did not have to download
anything more.
