Who Should Use HotJava Browser 3.0?

HotJava Browser 3.0 provides a Web solution that uses the Java Development Kit (JDKTM) 1.1.x platform. It is a perfect fit for enterprises looking to deploy Network Computers such as the JavaStation™. HotJava Browser 3.0 is also a "modern" browser for the Java platform that offers HTML capabilities comparable with Netscape Navigator™ 3.0.

HotJava Browser does not compete with Netscape Navigator, but complements it

Netscape Navigator offers a rich and robust feature set for desktop computers and workstations, while HotJava Browser is ideally suited for devices ranging from digital set top boxes to thin clients.
