Abstract
With the availability of the net a new generation of computing environments has to be designed for a large scale of statistical tasks ranging from data analysis to highly interactive operations. It must combine the flexibility of multi window desktops with standard operations and interactive user driven actions. It must be equally well suited for first year students and for high demanding researchers. Its design must has various degrees of flexibility that allow to address different levels of user groups. We present here some ideas how a new generation of a computing environment can be used as a student front end tool for teaching elementary statistics as well as a research device for highly computer intensive tasks, e.g. for semiparametric analysis and bootstrapping.
