7月中旬获悉,Sun公司推出了JavaPC Engine 1.0,该软件可使公司的IT部门将他们早期的、基于Intel芯片的计算机改装成基于Java的网络计算机。安装了Sun即将推出的JavaPC Engine 1.0的486PC或Pentium PC不仅可以运行DOS和Windows应用软件,还可运行以网络为中心的Java应用程序。它可以使公司的IT部门在他们已有的早期设备上运行最新的网络程序,从而保护他们在硬件上的投资。一位分析家说:“许多人在遇到这种情况时想到的只是出去买一台新的PC,这实际上是一种金钱上的浪费,因为新设备仍然在完成旧设备的工作。” JavaPC Engine基于Sun的面向网络计算机的JavaOS,能够继续支持Windows和DOS应用软件的运行,并且不会破坏现有的文件系统。它提供了一个应用软件运行工具,使管理员可以集中启动应用软件,包括Java类库和虚拟机,它通过DOS下的驱动程序直接与PC的硬件和外设打交道。据了解,第二版的JavaPC中还将加入Internet浏览器并改进用户界面。 JavaPC Engine原计划于去年秋季推出,并加入到sun
It was learned in mid-July that Sun introduced JavaPC Engine 1.0, which allows the company’s IT department to turn their earlier, Intel-based computers into Java-based network computers. The 486PC or Pentium PC, with Sun’s upcoming JavaPC Engine 1.0 installed, runs not only DOS and Windows applications, but also network-centric Java applications. It allows the company’s IT department to run the latest networking programs on their earlier legacy devices to protect their hardware investments. One analyst said: “Many people just think of just going out and buying a new PC in such a situation, which is actually a waste of money because the new equipment is still working on the old equipment.” JavaPC Engine Based on Sun’s JavaOS for networked computers, Engine continues to support the running of Windows and DOS applications without disrupting the existing file system. It provides an application running tool that allows administrators to centrally launch applications, including Java class libraries and virtual machines, working directly with the PC’s hardware and peripherals through DOS-driven drivers. It is understood that the second edition of JavaPC will also join the Internet browser and improve the user interface. JavaPC Engine originally planned to launch last fall, and added to the sun
