In future one will NOT write software for either
  • Windows95/NT, UNIX, Digital VMS, IBM VM etc.
Rather one will write software for WebWindows defined as the operating environment for World Wide Web
WebWindows builds on top of Web Servers and Web Client open interfaces as in
  • CGI interface for Servers
  • Java or equivalent applet technology for clients
Applications written for WebWindows will be portable to all computers running Web Servers or Clients which hide hardware and native O/S specifics

Further WebWindows Software will be modular and allow plug and play insertion of capabilities developed around the Web World -- not a bunch of isolated stovepipe solutions
  • WebWindows leverages not only universal hardware but also all the world's creative energy
As an example NPAC's WebTools implements UNIX shell/PC file manager capabilities in terms CGI scripts -- allows universal access to these capabilities including powerful Web based mh mail
NPAC's WebFoil is HotJava Open replacement for Powerpoint/Persuasion
Particular Application areas (Business, Healthcare, Education) will be built on top of generic NII services so that for instance
  • Healthcare video delivery builds on technology developed for CNN etc.
