Twister, you have to decouple Java software technologies from your notion of what an NC is and whether or not they will be flying off the retail shelves. You're going to see Java dominate applications software development at every level and that includes games. Java will have powerful 2D and 3D graphics, sound and video capability -- check out the Intel sight to see what they are working on. Frankly, if you think the banks, broadcasters, retailers, educators and others are going to even consider going with Microsoft you had better think again. Microsoft really is kidding themselves if they think these institutions will fall for inferior, proprietary solutions. The NC will replace so-called smart terminals, however, there is no reason to view the NC as anything more than alternative PC which leverages certain qualities of a networked environment. Sun will be more than happy to sell Java products to, say, a hotel or brokerage that feels they want full-blown PCs for terminals -- although they may have to hold down their laughter.
