This post shows the dots on BOCI/AOL. They have dots to NSM for silicon so maybe there isn't any chance for CUBE/DIVI here? I've seen a dot or two CUBE/NCI somewhere. From Yhoo............... Take AOL, 14million subsribers looking to expand into new areas like Business and break out of the old BOX. Take NSM, the pc-on-a chip people (working with Citrix and BOCI), Citrix - which makes WinFrame/MetaFrame software which Boca's Thin clients can use, add NCI and what do you get? You get AOL sitting there with a GIANT Windows server farm running Windows apps for thin clients. Citrix Servers, Boca Thin clients, NSM chips, NCI's Browser (partly owned by Netscape) and AOL's web dominance/customer base... You won't need a PC (well, maybe not you but I need one, or two actually). CTRX in case any one of you want to speculate. No, it isn't for everyone but it will make it very cheap to have computing power at home, not just a cheap set-top-box for browsing only... at an added cost of course. It is becomming very clear as to "why BOCI". Yes, the clues are all in these posts, just read them. It may take some hunting around to tie it together in a package (still not as tight as I would like, but...). It is kind of like a test in school, where the professor went over all the answers before the test, they are all in here. Boca has everything AOL needs, it is just sitting there waiting. It is where I would go and I am beginning to think that is exactly what AOL is up to... or at least some flavor of the above. If it is then they will make killing!........ The thin client lives on as the set top? How strong are Natonals set top solutions? Any help out there?
