| Sun Microsystems and IBM this week will finalize plans for JavaOS for Business, a Java operating system for network computers (NCs).
The OS will be developed and marketed by both companies and is scheduled to be released in the second quarter of 1998.
JavaOS for Business will initially be used in IBM's Network Station network computer in the first quarter of 1999, and eventually Sun will switch to the new JavaOS for its JavaStation product.
