During the conference call, Ron answered a question about projected revenues from professional services. Can anyone post his answer? As I recall, he also mentioned that: demand infinitely outstrips supply for professional services; margins would be in the 60% range; and overall margins would not be lowered because increasing runtime royalties (in the 95% range) would offset the "low" 60% figure.

Re: "It would be interesting to know if the Playstation 2 uses Aperios, or any part of the Aperios spec" exchange2000.com "One of the most interesting aspects of the PlayStation 2's tech specs is the news that rather than use its own custom OS, as with PlayStation I, or license Microsoft's WinCE as with Sega's Dreamcast, Sony have instead licensed Linux" Regards JC.

Chinacat wrote: Aperios ignores Java. I have not come accross any reference to an effort to implement Java VM on top of Aperios. It would be interesting to know is Sony and Sun have had any such discussions. A year or so ago TCI announced that WinCE and Aperios would be the two initial operating systems used on the DCT-5000 settop box for their advanced digital deployment. They also announced that Java TV (PersonalJava) would be the application environment on top of the OS. Also, there have been announcements regarding HAVi (Sony and Philips' Home Audio Video Interface, or something like that) and Jini interoperability, and I believe HAVi itself is specified using Java API calls. So I think you can definitely conclude Java will run on Aperios. Bill
