The closest to a "killer" application for the desktop probably is Eclipse, a general IDE. Also Netbeans, another IDE, is written in Java. Other examples, including the Mars Rover software from Nasa can be found here, http://www.java.com/en/about/apps/mars_rover.jsp

> well what sort of stuff does everyone posting here use it for?Writing software. Both server side and client side. It can also be used to write software for mobile devices.
