Java Would Be Winner In AOL-Netscape Deal (11/24/98, 9:12 a.m. ET) (http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/reuters/REU19981124S0001) from the article: "...Analysts said Dulles, Va.-based AOL would use Sun's Java language to create a television set-top box-based version of AOL to compete directly with Microsoft's WebTV Networks as part of AOL's AOL Anywhere strategy. ..." "...An agreement with AOL, the world's largest online service, and Netscape would be a huge boost for Sun, which has yet to enter the consumer market. It also would be another boon for Java, which had seen its momentum slow in recent months, due to uncertainties because of the lawsuit and some product delays..." ===================================================================== Look's like SUNW did not have to give too much away to obtain an entry strategy into the consumer market. Remember they have all those agreements with other vendors to deliver set-top boxes and JAVA hand held devises. EKS
