Oracle consistently falls flat on its face when it comes to front-end tools and I would go so far as to say client-end stuff in general. It is obvious that Oracle sees applications as a collection of forms. We don't need to be convinced that a crippled PC which is incompatible with the wealth of existing desktop and server software and hardware is somehow superior. If that is the case, vendors will indeed cripple the existing stuff and package it up in nice streamlined little boxes with Intel Pentiums whizzing, tilting and whirling away inside. We do not need to loose 15 years worth of tool, component and application development just to spite Microsoft and Intel. Make no mistake about it, that is the real motivation. Look, if IBM sticks a PowerPC in a box and calls it a freaking NC then what does that tell you? I guess IBM was only kidding about OS/2 and Taligent. And oh yeah, when they had the PC right under their nose and didn't see it; they meant to do that. The NC is an important concept but it's only a concept; there's nothing really new about it; it's just a reconfiguration of the same old stuff.
