Sun's Java Desktop System shows promise

MSNBC: "When it comes to operating systems, Microsoft, IBM and Apple aren’t the only mega-companies with all the knowledge. Sun, with its Solaris OS, has years of expertise with Unix-based operating systems. But in the 21st century, Sun has decided to add Linux to the mix. It includes full support for the company's Java system – plus a suite of office software – in one package.It’s called Sun Java Desktop System, or JDS for short. Like Solaris, it’s designed for offices and businesses more than for extensive home use. But, Sun has just announced that hardware manufacturer Microtel will now make you a computer with the JDS operating system inside for $298-698 depending on the configuration. They're for sale on Wallmart.com."
