1. OpenWebStart is available for macOS, Windows and Linux. The recommended minimum system requirements of OpenWebStart itself are: 2 GHz dual core processor. 1 GB RAM (system memory) 200 MB of hard-drive space (for the OpenWebStart core installation) In addition to that, memory and hard-drive space consumption are mainly influenced by the number of JVMs downloaded and the JNLP applications installed and cached on your system.
2. Java Web Start differs from Java Applets by running java independently of the browser. When you start the application from the browser it downloads a file called frmsrvlet.jnlp to the default download directory setup for the browser. It will then run Java directly from this file rather than through the browser.

The tool includes all the functionality of IcedTea-Web and adds extended features, such as native installers for Mac OS, Windows, and Linux.

The most recent Java auto-update through OS X (Leopard) is causing some problems with Java Web Start, the program used to launch the MDO Transporter program. If you’ve gone through the update and your Java Web Start is no longer available it means that the update wasn’t completely successful.

A symptom of this is trying to launch a Java Web Start Application (Transporter for My Docs users) and having it open something that looks like a text file.
