From NII Technologies from WebTop Productivity to Computing Minnesota Presentations at Cray Research and University -- 13-14 November 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

The WebTop Productivity environment will be built in a more modular fashion than current PC Windows or Macintosh arena
  • e.g. future WebWindows presentation packages will be built from many different modules coming from different commercial or public domain sources
Java is key to understanding how WebWindows application/service software will look as it allows balanced client server applications to be built
Note require an open display software so can produce appropriate customized interfaces for browsing, presenting, word processing etc.
Java may or may not be accepted by Web Community and Sun/Netscape may or may not allow it to used openly
However the concept is essential and roughly right -- one or more such open technologies will become available and used on the Web
