I was staring at my CDE desktop on Solaris x86 and thinking "If Sun wants to push Java so much, they really need to think beyond the Management Console and do an entire desktop." It would have to be geared for the sort of light client/heavy server model that McNealy loves so much. And it would have to be about 800 times faster than the Management Console. At least that's the impression I get on my 500mhz K6-II and my dual 200mhz Ultra Creator II
.
On a more snide note, I also thought it sort of funny that Sun contributed to the Human Interface Guidelines for Gnome, then it struck me as genius. Of course they are experts; all they had to do was collect the tech support call info they got as a result of deploying something as horrifying as CDE.
