Subject: Java and NC in large companies

This week one of the major insurance companies in Norway stoped a US$
2.6 million dollar project to develop new systems based on MS Windows
NT.
They are now evaluating going the NC/Java route instead. They now have
4.500 PC's and terminals which they want to replace with NCs as fast
as possible to run Java and other intranet based applications.
They are now in a test and evaluation periode that will last a few
month until they decide finaly whether they should go this route.

Microsoft Norway is a little shaky.

This may not seem like a very large contract, but there beeing only
about 4 million people in Norway this is a realy major development.
This company is one of the largest IT users in Norway.
If this insurance company can do it most others can as well. Several
other large coorporations in Norway are currently doing exactly the
same evaluation and many will have decided within the next half year.
It will be extremely interesting to see what they will do. It may be
the start of a realy major wave into a new future of computing.

Are similar things happening in other parts of the world?
