I wasn't at Sun in those days so I don't have any details to hand, but I
do know the guys who designed the Java wizard did a fair whack of
usability testing to arrive at the design they did, so I reckon the more
of it we borrow the better...

Then we could borrow most of their guidelines too, as the HIG section on
Assistants is pretty sad at the moment :)

Cheeri,
Calum.
