This time, however, Mr Ellison is insisting that demand for his wares will be driven by something that everybody finds thrilling the network computer (NC), which he thinks will outsell the PC by 2000.Mr Ellison knows that he cannot compete with Microsoft in its core markets of PC operating systems and applications software.
In the meantime, a host of other companies, from makers of fancy mainframe terminals to PC manufacturers, have begun selling machines that offer many of the NC's advantages, such as easier maintenance.This has led to confusion about what a NC is (does a NetPC running Microsoft software count?), and probably closed much of the corporate market to Oracle's machines.
Jonathan Roberts, a program manager at Microsoft, says that Microsoft had already been working on software for simpler machines, but "all the NC discussion has certainly accelerated what we were doing .Although Mr Ellison had indicated that NCs made by consumer-electronic firms and using Oracle's software would be widely available last year, most will not hit the market until later this summer.
Beside its cable-TV investments, handheld computer software, and digital TV alliances (all playing to the same market as the NC) Mr Gates has even bought WebTV, the most successful maker of NC-like machines for the home so far.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has moved into the home-NC industry, announcing its acquisition of WebTV, the market leader.
From these two conclusions, by PC, we get ~(OBt → ~OB~t), contradicting OB-NC of SDL.
So (1′), given OB-NC, yields a contradiction.
This is derivable in SDL, since if ⊢ ~p, then ⊢ OB~p by OB-NEC, and then by OB-NC, we get ⊢ ~OBp.
