Sun turns PCs into NCs
..."There are millions of PCs out there that are running on DOS and Windows 3.x that are unable to run Java applications," said Nicholas Lorain, product manager for the JavaPC. "JavaPC is a software solution that you can install on any PC running DOS."

The JavaPC is Sun's latest entry into the lukewarm market for network computers. These are stripped-down computers that rely on central servers for storage and distribution of software, and Sun already sells one such Java-based device called the JavaStation.

But some question whether Sun is supplying what corporate customers really want.

"If this is something that customers really have a burning desire to have, it's not showing up in our surveys," said Greg Blatnik, vice president of Zona Research.
