I haven't seen Sun or Oracle themselves say there was going to be a computer without an OS.

From:
zdnet.com
Ellison, in a keynote address in November at the mammoth Comdex computer trade show in Las Vegas, outlined his plans to bundle Oracle's latest Internet friendly database, 8i, on computers that would bypass the need for Windows NT and any other operating system.

You may be right. They may backpedal or restate the OS piece. In fact, the preannounce leaks could have been trial balloons to test the reception to the redefinition of OS.

If they don't say an OS-less computer, the position could be defensible as another form of the NC.

Have a good weekend as well.

Thanks,
Mike
