Re: ORCL's Thin Client Plans Explained Lucius, Just in case you didn't catch this series of posts (on the Oracle thread), I thought you may want to review them. These are only about half the great comments concerning exactly what Oracle is trying to do with the 8i push. Of course I did the research not so much that I'm that interested in Oracle, but I was trying to get a feel for how this new Java/HTML paradigm was going to effect Citrix. Below are only some of the links to comments made regarding 8i that I thought were very significant. I had forgotten how much they helped me understand how Java/HTML fits into the thin client world. There were some very technically savvy Oracle investors on the thread that explained the 8i program well. It doesn't take long to read through the posts. And they explain what the, "For Client/Server, Think Thin," article you linked to is talking about from the technical perspective. After you review the posts, you can see how LE is attempting to develop a platform for a thin client push via a java engine built into his database software. It's called a, "servlet." This servlet is processed on the server and it creates HTML based screen refreshes that are sent to the client. It's all pretty interesting. I could kick myself for not listening in on Oracle's Q4 conference call to see how this particular app is selling. I'll go back and try to dig up some more info.
