Kal....does this look familiar to you? netscape.com I'm might buy back in today....just because of the page. They might finally have it figured out what it's all about....Location, Location, Location. Mininum the content is now organized into channels...which leads me to believe the next step is to build them out. And if you caught my Location, Location, Location.......This could be the mother of Internet Intersections? quicken.com

There are many problems with this idea like do you boot to such an OS and then reboot if you need something that only runs under Windows? You'd have to get the public to turn its collective back against MSFT apps if you wanted to exclude Windows completely, but that is possible if you leverage high speed transfer which could use, say JAVA on the server with picoJAVA core. This way you get such an execution and facility enhancement that buyers may jump.Initially, perhaps such an OS could be designed to have dedicated functionality addressing business applications like telecommuting over cable modem in the sense of an "embedded OS". The browser would be designed around the new OS and vice versa, so now not only do you have a different OS definition, you have a differentiated browser app. Another possibility would be to get Sun to cooperate on a project to handle the core OS development. At this point I believe NSCP needs to make a clean break from MSFT dependence and government interference. They have nothing to lose even though there are lots of capable people who believe everything will work out if they stay on their present course. I don't agree. Now is the time to go in a completely different direction, and do what no one seems to want to do: compete with MSFT with a better product.
