What do you suppose that sun net portal play could be?

I had some first hand viewing of Sun.net at the Java Business Expo in New York in December. When at the site you use a smartcard scanner to gain access to your personal webtop (every computer will have a card scanner attached to it). Each company would have a webtop setup customized for that business that you can enter once identified. The webtop includes such things has the software, files, data access, etc necessary for the employees to do their work as if they were at their office. Clearly that webtop can be accessed anywhere in the world, from any desktop with the proper identification.

All the best,
Michael
