Java for Business Using Java to Win Customers, Cut Costs, and Drive Growth "By the end of 1997 we expect there to be 100 million Java enabled computers. Business applications of this network centric, platform independent, highly secure language will explode. Businesses will see faster development, more security, lower IT costs, and do things they could not easily do before. Java will help businesses win customers, cut costs, and drive growth as Anderson contends. We see Java as a key technology for Netscape, as well as for every business that uses a network."
