In a sense, web browsers and web services made Network Computing for the masses. But it wasn't a full computing experience, of the sort normally provided by [[Personal computer]]s, and of the kind which Network Computing had promised. In 1999, an AT&T/Olivetti laboratory released screen mirroring software that worked in a web browser, and they dubbed this [[Virtual Network Computing]] (VNC), to distinguish it from commercial Network Computing requiring special [[Thin client]] hardware. Within months of VNC's release, Network Computing for the masses finally became available as a web service: a small start-up called [[Workspot]] provided VNC connection to [[Linux]]-based desktops.
