Gene, >>>IBM and Sun announce JavaOS today.<<<

In my lifetime, I have seen a lot of shrinked wrapped stuff announced with great fanfare and not do what it was trumped up to do. Something in my bones tell me that this is another one of those moments.

I don't think they will see much in terms of revenue generated by this product. Come back to me in twelve months and tell me what those sales are. Worse yet, even though there will people fooled into buying this product, there will be very little in actual implementations from this product. (Just a wild guess).

Of course, I could be all wrong about this.

Mary

Re: IBM and Sun announce JavaOS today

can anybody explain the difference between network
computing and time sharing on dumb terminals attached
to a mainframe. (besides screen painting stuff, of course)
