It's debut week for Java Desktop System- a product in
which Sun Microsystems Inc. has combined Linux,
Mozilla, GNOME and StarOffice-creating a credible
challenger to Microsoft Corp.'s Windows and Office on
the corporate desktop.
In eWEEK Labs' tests of the final build, we found Java
Desktop System (formerly code-named Mad Hatter)
approachable and functional, with design tweaks to make
the product match more closely to Windows for the
benefit of users unfamiliar with Linux.
