WHAT DOES THE NETWORK COMPUTER MEAN TO SUN? Contrary to much of the hype about the $500 network computer, there are no specific hardware implementations either advocated or promoted by this initiative. In fact, the very first network computer, as defined by the NC Reference Profile, may well be a PC running Windows 95. We suspect that the decision to be hardware implementation neutral was probably the price of getting Sun into the fold. Regardless of the Java hype, Sun is fundamentally a hardware manufacturer, leveraging Java and Java mania to promote Sun hardware platforms.
