The Post-PC Enterprise

larry ellisonIn 1997, Larry Ellison had a vision for a new paradigm of computing which he called the Network Computer (NC). The idea was simple: a group of partners would build devices and services that leveraged the power of the Internet to compete against the growing Windows monopoly.Ellison believed that the computer in the client/server era had evolved into too complex a machine for most tasks. With the NC, the heavy computation of software and infrastructure would be abstracted from the actual device and delivered instead to thinner terminals via the web, thus radically simplifying access and enabling all new applications and mobility.
