I don't know for sure but I think Lotus is in the same boat as Corel no product out yet. Also if Java runs crossplatform as they say this means you could use Corels product on the IBM NC if it gets released before Lotus. Just as Lotus should be able to run on Corels NC.

Here is the first article I have ever found about deploying NCs with office applications. And probably just the opening of the flood gates for the NC's.

Oakland to add NCs to housing
news.com
To train low-income residents for high-tech jobs, Oakland, California, will put computer terminals in all future public housing units built in the city.
The Oakland City Council passed a policy last night to install network computers in public housing units so residents will have Net access, as well as spreadsheet, word processing, and database management software.
IBM said it will set up 100 Network Stations for residents currently living in one low-income housing project in about two months.

So it appears that in two month IBM should have Net access, as well as spreadsheet, word processing, and database management software. They didn't specify what software they are deploying. Maybe Corel's products. Would have been nice if the article specified what software they are using for the office apps.

Does anybody know if Lotus has a beta out on their Java office product yet?
