Peter:

I did not see your connection from NC to mission critical applications. There were several responses in this thread questioning the usefullness of NC/JavaStation. What you showed here does not answer any of the concerns. Most feel that NC/JavaStation may replace Terminals and Smart Terminals but not workstation or Servers. I also did not know that Sun dominate the mission Critical applications. I mentioned Air traffic control. did Sun supply the workstation to some System Integrator or did Sun furnished the complete system?

I see part of the future computing is in clusters. If the scalability is there the NT will work just as well as Unix Servers. Stratus and Tandem have announced NT Fault Tolerant Clusters for Mission Critical applications. I have reasons to worry about Unix. Can you shed some light on that.

Cheers
