Re: Who cares about the resolution? A few comments on drivers: <<The server may not care, but something has to. I.e. the browser or the OS. >> The browser is the OS, which is why Microsoft cares so much. <<If the OS (say Win95) runs on the processor (say Pentium), then fine. If not (say Netscape on PowerPC NC without some OS layer) then someone has to write a driver for the hardware. >> The OS is probably intended to be in ROM in the NC. It would boot much faster than Win95 on your hard disk. <<That's expensive, and you start to get vertical and lose choice. IBM NC's only have a 500x700 pixel display (or whatever). If you want something bigger, tough. No cards, no drivers. >> You can get a Win95 driver written for $25k, which is cheap over any reasonable volume. You lose choice, which is why I think the NC won't catch on.
