Since you ask ...

The FedEx story struck me as somewhat odd because I don't understand why they would drop the NC concept based on its immaturity, and then turn right around and embrace the (even more immature, IMHO) Microsoft alternative of Windows terminals. I'm going to reserve judgment until the story unfolds more fully, and that's why I didn't comment before. For all we know, FedEx may be merely playing the two camps off against each other in the hopes of negotiating a better price or quicker delivery; "we may very well choose PCs" and "if we were to make a decision at this point, we would choose PCs" doesn't sound like a final decision to me.

Of course I do hope Sun ultimately wins the FedEx installation, especially in light of all the associated hoopla. It sounds like Sun will be providing servers either way, and that Java will have a role.

JMHO.
