Richard - a couple of innacuracies. "Oracle's strategy depends upon adoption of the NC" Oracle's software depends more upon a browser that executes Java than an NC. Oracle's newest applications (10.7nca) which are delivered via the web are a good example. Its about people accessing large databases everywhere thru a simple interface - the program doesnt have to be written in Java, it can be in c or c++. as to the fact that Software written in Java may never happen - well, people still dont believe that man has been to the moon till they see it with their own eyes. Java is the most widely taught language in universities and has seen the quickest adoption by developers than any other language. Check every web site and you realize that Java changes everything - as to who will ulitmately control Java - well that is up in the air but i dont think Sun, Oracle, Ibm,netscape, etc have any less chance than if they never invented it. " But Sun will be adopting the 64-bit INTEL Merced chip for its most popular line of UNIX boxes - Sun Solaris" no - Sun never announced they will be using Merced in its own boxes. They announced that they will make Solaris available on Merced with Intel's assistance. Sun has ported to Intel for 5 years but without any real assistance from Intel. COmpanies like NCR have agreed to use current solaris as well as the version for merced in their existing and future line of intel servers.
