Sources close to the joint efforts between Google and Sun say rampant speculation about hosted desktop productivity offerings and common operating systems is way off base. Insiders with knowledge of the joint plans to promote and enhance the OpenOffice.org desktop productivity suite say it is far more likely that Sun and Google will find ways to promote both OpenOffice.org and Google Toolbar, including having Toolbar included as part of OpenOffice.org, StarOffice, and even OpenSolaris and Sun's branded Solaris products.

Sun already has decent thin-client technology. They went out and bought one of the premier (read: Linux and Windows compatible) thin client platforms out there in Tarantella, which is good enough to be used over a 56K modem, and has been around for years.
