Chapter 11,re:"FedEx". Old news, new spin. FedEX uses Windows-PC as Java-station ( Conceptually ). Not that they don't like 'Java-station' idea, it's that 'Price-point' has not gotten to that 'cheap-PC' environment. I don't think FedEx embraces the 'FAT-desktop' model, just the 'hardware' is cheaper and more available with PC NOW. So Java/or whatever network computing is named has to compete on that merit. OPENness will eventually get to it. But with the huge monopony and advantage that MSFT/wintel has, the process will takes sometimes. WS/analysts will not inform us when that will come, they will inform us when it HAS COME.
