This is it, folks, the Java consummation that many of us have been waiting for. Microsoft will never be the same again. Okee Dokee. Here it is- George Gilder. It's official. Game over. -JCJ

>>A set of icons on your AOL or other browser will allow you to call up always updated word processing, spreadsheet, graphics, and presentation programs as you wish, cutting substantial chunks out of IT desktop annual maintenance budgets that typically exceed the cost of replacing every PC in the company. Meanwhile, Microsoft was planning to harvest up to $700 per computer for the move to a new Office suite, afflicted with baroque filigrees of over-rich features and rain-forest green with plentiful new species of bugs. << what does cramu say? WRONG!! first off, aol uses ie5 and what does he mean by "other browsers?" netscape perhaps? does anyone even use that any more ( other than you guys)? if the company that BOUGHT it doesn't use it, what does that tell all of you Solaris users? DO you really use Sorlaris people? does GG really think you'll be able to hit an icon and call up star office on ie5 and beyond? yeah right, msft is working on that RIGHT now. msft doesn't "harvest" $700 a seat. that aint in the business model. that is hyperbole. i can upgrade office for $150 bucks or so and corps can do it even cheaper. what a bunch of typical poop from doubleG.
