Your comments about NC/OS intrigue me. Your statement that WIND missed the boat by allowing NET/bsd to get established is not how I perceived events at NCI and WIND. WIND announced the design win for the 2nd generation NC/OS, not to be ready until sometime well into 1997. There was never any indication that the 2nd generation NC/OS would be the first out of the box. At the time WIND was negotiating the deal, Oracle/NCI was already well underway with a reference NC platform. For example, Oracle funded Acorn to build an NC quite awhile ago, and that machine is now available. I think that Oracle/NCI realized that whatever OS they were using initially was insufficient for the long-haul - for lots of reasons like platform flexibility, connectivity flexibility, ideal Java Virtual Machine architecture and tools for developers. This caused them to continue with current developments, but plan to convert ASAP to the ideal OS, which they decided in September 1996 was VxWorks integrated with JavaOS. Are you saying anything different than this? For example, are you saying NET/bsd is to be used in the first 2nd generation NC/OS? If so, please elaborate. Allen
