IBM, Sun Kill JavaOS for Business dailynews.yahoo.com IBM did not address its relationship with Intel, which had agreed to optimize the JavaOS for Intel processors in return for IBM's support of Intel's Lean Client reference specification. An Intel spokesman says Intel continues to optimize Java for Intel architecture and work with customers on Lean Clients, although Intel's Lean Client business is declining as PC prices fall. (JavaStation and/or ThinSTAR 300?) Sun, meanwhile, claims that the widespread adoption of "Internet standards" have made both the JavaOS for Business and the Lean Client/Network Computer spec unnecessary. "All of these relationships have served their purpose," says product line manager Lisa Carnochan. "We're making a lot of investments in the hardware and software required to bring the thin client to the marketplace, but software developers don't have to anything special anymore. Internet applications will run on thin clients." Comments from NCD would be appreciated...at least to help clarify what's being said.
