IBM NetVista

The IBM NetVista Software Suite was introduced in April 1996 as a client–server software suite, with the server software running on OS/2, and the client software on Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Meant to provide Internet access to K-12 users, it included such things as a web browser, nanny software and other internet utilities, including a TCP/IP stack.^[1]

Starting with version 1.1, the server side was also supported on Windows NT. The software suite was withdrawn without replacement in January 2000.

The IBM NetVista personal computer was the follow-on to the IBM PC Series. It was announced in May 2000 alongside the ThinkPad T and A series. The line was withdrawn in May 2004 and was replaced by the ThinkCentre.

Earlier NetVista models came in the typical white/beige cases of the 1990s much like the previous IBM PC Series and the related IBM Aptiva. Later NetVista models would change the color of the cases to black, starting with the NetVista A21 models in 2001 and then spreading out into other models in later years. These case designs used a similar color found in its contemporary ThinkPad models, and would last for a long time, being inherited by its successor, the ThinkCentre.
