Sun Microsystems is introducing its Linux distribution, Sun Linux, a part of the Mad Hatter project, to the general public today. Sun Linux is targeting the Enterprise market and at a very low price. OSNews had a sneak peak at Sun Linux last Friday at Sun's offices and here is what we saw there.

to me why certain unamed person(s) consider the default for SUN Linux as "ugly". It seems that we have ALOT of arm chair critics who have never worked in the industry and yet think that their "limited experience" entitles them to give their 5cents worth.
This is for an enterprise environment. The GUI is plain, simply and conservative. The number one priority is locking down the desktop so that the only thing the end user can do is actually WORK! amazing, WORKING AT WORK! what a brilliant concept.
The only people I hear complaining are the a-typical lazy employees who spend more time instant messaging, emailing instead of working and posting on osnews.com. Your purpose at work isn't to re-arrange your pot plants or re-tune your desktop theme to fit into your feng-sui and balance your "inner spirit", you are there to work and contribute to the over all working of the organisation.
If you want to have a different desktop or different types of applications, that is what you have your home computer for. When you are at work, you are using company equipment. if you don't like it, quit, join the dole queue and hopefully (in this era of outsourcing) find an employer who is willing to "accomidate" your ideocycracies and "problems" with particular company policies.
