Oracle Corp is developing its own suite of network-based personal productivity applications written in Java and designed to run on Network Computers, InfoWorld reports. The company is working on a suite of network-aware applications comparable with Microsoft Corp’s Office suite that assume there’s a dial tone, assume there’s a server at the other end, Joseph Vassallo, vice-president of the Sun products division at the company told the paper, adding that they will have the advantage of having been designed from the start to run on a network. More information on when the applications will be released will be given in 30 to 45 days, he said, adding that information will likely be available at Oracle Open World in San Francisco next month.
