>>Btw, a "diskless workstation" is defined as one that loads software >>(i.e. boots) off the network. How is this different from NC? The diskless workstation loaded the complete program into local storage and executed it there. In the NC, the program would be normally broken into 2 parts. Only a small part (maybe 10%) that does presentation of data to the user would actually be downloaded and run on the NC, while the other other 90% would run on the application server. This separation of the program should be done in a manner that minimizes network traffic.
