At the same press conference, HP also gave a demo of a prototype Network
Computer.  HP is looking to deliver this in the 2H97.  Hmmmm...  (Source:
WebWeek)

I have visions of the "Windows Client" dancing through my head.
Hopefully, this will be more successful.  Another story of HP coming out
with something ahead of its time (the Windows Client)...but the masses are
just looking for it now.  Let's hope this machine has more acceptance!
