To: Thai Chung From: chirodoc Tuesday, Feb 3 1998 8:42AM EST <<<<From WSJ: The Wall Street Journal -- February 2, 1998 Manager's Journal: A Judo Blow Against Microsoft .......i agree with the article completely. here is my question: what applications will this lead to? will any major boxmaker take up this as their default browser? remember that IE is becoming the default browser to a lot of companies. ......i could see companies like sunw and orcl using nscp as their default browser when the NC grows--if it even does. now, msft is still in control of the desk top. i would love to see someone like ibm say that it is going to have a customized nscp navigator installed on all of their new computers--unless someone wants IE. that would be a good start to get nscp back on to the desk top. ......my concern is that the desk top will eventually be the home pc/tv which will be a huge market. will nscp be there? ......i really want to figure this out, because nscp has tremendous potential if they can get some growth back into the browser. what do you think?
