正当NetPC本月开始走下生产线之时,几个主要的NetPC拥护者开始动摇对这一体系结构的支持。由于用户对NetPC反应冷淡,IBM和Digital公司正在完全终止NetPC计划的推出或仍继续对这一产品进行评估,他们对这种设备及其市场潜能已不再是深信不疑。IBM公司全球商业系统市场主管Jim McGann指出,“虽然NetPC没有得到用户的积极响应,但是有关集中化管理的所有理论都是正确的。”于今年6月份展出了一台NetPC原型机的IBM公司已经搁置发布这种设备的计划,取而代之的是集中精力扩展其跨商业台式系统产品线,包括LCCM(LAN Client ControlManager)和Wake-on-LAN在内的可管理性产品。
Just as NetPC began to walk down the production line this month, several major NetPC advocates began to shake support for this architecture. As users react coldly to NetPC, IBM and Digital are completely terminating the launch of the NetPC project or continue to evaluate the product, and they are no longer convinced of the potential of this device and its market. Jim McGann, Head of Global Business System Marketing at IBM, stated that “Although NetPC has not received a positive response from users, all theories concerning centralized management are correct.” IBM exhibited a NetPC prototype in June this year. The plan to release such equipment has been shelved, and instead it has focused on expanding its cross-platform business system product line, including manageability products such as LCCM (LAN Client Control Manager) and Wake-on-LAN.
