Calling:

Program.launch("http://www.something.com");

would launch the default browser.... but would also generate an error
(im on windows XP).. is this a bug?

the error:

'Windows cannot find 'http://www.something.com'. Make sure you typed the
name correctly.......'

Well, Program.launch(String filename) should only be called on files
according to the API, which means it probably shouldn't be launching the
browser.
It's a pain, but maybe you can create a temp something.txt with the text:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.something.com

Rename it something.url, run it and then delete it.
