I agree, be it an NC or a Wintel machine with a browser, the Oracle DBMS will support Java and have another highend distinctive selling point againt MS on the lowend and IBM on the highend. Oracle applications are being converted to Java, meaning they'll run on an NC or Wintel browser (netscape, etc). From a dbms or applications standpoint, companies with 10,000's workstation supporting data entry functions, it makes alot of $ense. A $295 NC or a $1000 PC ? Either way, its a plus for Oracle, their apps or dbms will support NC or a browser. Right now, according to the Gartner Group it costs corporations $11,000 a year to buy and support your average business computer. I don't totally buy the NC idea but it'll be a throwaway machine. (Also no conflicting DLLs ! Paths! Autoexecs!)
