According to PC week the Java NC is dead before it is born.. It is amazing to me no one has been able to get to market with one of these things in a useful format yet. The longer it takes, the more likely MSFT is to claim Java as its own. I can't, for the life of me, see why anyone would want one -- at least not in a business setting (talk about a statement that could come back to haunt). The after-tax price differential of owning a crippled box vs. a PC is going to be $100 or something. Who's going to do it? Someone really needs to figure out something you can do with Java that you can't do with a PC running Windows. THEN, you'll have a winner. Until then, Java has no advantage over traditional systems, except for making Java rings and wristwatches.
