Frankly, I agree with him here. I just wouldn't say so in public...

PC WEEK: What do you need to do in terms of innovation to take Netscape to
the next step?
ANDREESSEN: We are building an application environment. The platform
capabilities are being built into all of the products. We are going to have to
unify a lot of that. Pull it all together and take it to the next level.
First of all, we need to come up with a fancy name.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !
PC WEEK: Are you being facetious when you say that?
ANDREESSEN: No, not at all. People need something to think about.
PC WEEK: So is this a full-service platform?
ANDREESSEN: It is whatever you want to call it. The foundations are in place
with Java and JavaScript in all the servers and all the clients.
[To create the foundation,] you have plug-in APIs on the clients, you need
plug-in APIs on the server, and there have to be ways for objects to talk back
and forth with one another.
