It has no relevance to home/SOHO users whatever. It's entirely enterprise-oriented. And there's a big intra-corporate political component to this kind of architecture. It empowers the glass-house IT contingent, those who saw their power decentralized and, to some extent, dissipated, by the advent of the PC. The SunRay architecture returns the whole enchilada to their hands. They've got to love it. End users, on the other hand, might rebel. I think it's much less to do with politics and glass house mindset than it's to do with dollars and particularly dollars spent on maintenance of PCs. It's pure economics. It's been said that this solution is aimed at knowledge workers specifically, so it's not like anyone is going to need to swap out their workstation or power-user PC. I think Sun learned a lot from the JavaStation. One of the main things has to do with one size doesn't fit all in the organization. They tried forcing that round JavaStation down a lot of square holes at Sun. SunRay simply targets the majority of knowledge workers using (increasingly) their PCs as terminals. Is it really an X Terminal?? -JCJ
