A world of only Windows In case you didn't catch it Scott, we have been living in a world of only Windows since Win 3.1. The question is can there ever be an alternative to this world, not whether it exists. That's where your company comes in. Without a world of JAVA based apps there isn't a niche you can think of that MSFT will not occupy. =================================== Incidently Scott I always get a kick out of people that tell me JAVA apps can't run as fast as Windows apps. When the PC came out, we wrote programs with a 64K code restriction. We bypassed the OS graphics system and wrote our own primitives and managed our own memory. When I started in this business, many years before that, having 22K was considered a programming luxury. So what happened? Did somebody forget how to write code? What's the problem with JAVA? I know Gates problem with code has always been using hardware power to overcome the grotesque excesses of his bad programmers. And Intel has obliged. So what's the problem at Novell? What's your answer to embedding Windows programs in a Web page? You must have one. Does it work?
