Good article. I think this particular response by Lane sums up an ORCL view of the NC for those who still misunderstand ORCL & the NC. "We are shipping Oracle8, which supports multiple data types for network computing, and application servers that go along with that, data warehouses that go along with that and options that go along with that. It is the best environment for data and application serving and hosting for network computing. No one else can do that. They can talk about what's coming, but today, we are shipping a product that actually does that. We are the only company that is shipping tools that allow you to develop a client-server application and actually run that application in a network computing environment, without changing it. And we are the only company shipping prepackaged applications to run on a standard Internet browser. We are the only company shipping the products that support network computing and we want linkage with that message, but not with the network computer. If everybody installs an IBM network computer or a Sun network computer, or a network computer that is supported by NCI software, that doesn't really matter to us. If we can have the Oracle data server and application server and Oracle tools, Oracle applications with IBM network stations sitting out there at the end, that's fine with us."
