ABSTRACT:
Network computer emulator systems, methods and computer program products for personal computers can provide many of the advantages of network computers to personal computers, without requiring the replacement of existing personal computers with network computers. A network computer emulator program obtains a Java runtime environment, Java desktop and Java applications from a server over a network. The network computer emulator program runs the Java runtime environment, Java desktop and Java applications on the personal computer. Data generated by the Java runtime environment, Java desktop and Java applications are stored at the server via the network, rather than storing the data generated by the Java runtime environment, Java desktop and Java applications in the persistent storage of the personal computer. Data for the Java runtime environment, Java desktop and Java applications are also obtained from the server over the network, rather than obtaining the data for the Java runtime environment, Java desktop and Java applications from the persistent storage. The persistent storage of the personal computer may be used as a Java code cache that stores the Java runtime environment, Java desktop and Java applications that are obtained from the server over the network.
