This is going to be the year that IBM, Orcl, and Sunw are going to be really pushing the NC . I think that this will catch on soon. As soon as customers realize the advantages and cost savings over the bloated wintel architecture and computer.

I like the idea myself, that's using the internet as the operating system and having IT professionals manage the data. Two main advantages of the NC would be to free up human resouces from having to maintain these systems and also the cost of training.

Good article about the lastest on wallstreet, yahoo.com
