NC standards effort might give a clue to the announcement?? techweb.com IBM and Sun are promoting the JavaOS as a standard platform. A readied version of the operating system isn't expected to be available until next month, when Sun plans to ship its JavaStations. "If we had a common operating system, then we could have common device drivers," said Howie Hunger, director of marketing for IBM's Network Station. The Network Station uses a Unix-derived OS, but IBM said it plans to ship JavaOS systems this summer. I guess this is IT. JavaOS is going to kick A$$ Cheers, Babu
