Scott: A basic JAVA Question.... Will Moab, JVM and the JAVA environment it enable be capable of writing data output - separate from GUI display - to disk? The NT shops I touch base with have been told by MS that JAVA is DOA because it will never be able to write data output to disk. My guess is that MS is planning to make sure it's NT platform will not support full JAVA data disk writing functionality. They are putting up barriers along all fronts to impede JAVA's progress. From my vantage point, if MS is playing this game, NOS vendors - ie. Novell - should be all over the opportunity this presents. I regard JAVA as a breakthrough, but all I've seen are the display benefits. I am less clear about data writing, printing, etc. All Novell investors are banking on Schmidt's ability to capitalize on these huge gaps. A JAVA-enabled NOS that takes control over data writing from NT is a core requirement for Novell to succeed. Appreciate your contributions.
