Sun has just released Mustang, after opening Java through an open source license; two great news in a short time, means something is changing... will this be Sun's response to Vista? First of all, Mustang's enhancements are focused on the desktop (we have a better look with LCD subpixeling, better OS theme support, tray icons and a great speed improvement) and I guess that, after having satified the server side with EE, Java is aiming to the desktop, client and stand alone applications. And most of these applications will run on Vista; so what if a lot of people starts using Java applications on Win which can be ported without any effort on Linux? Sun is offering also Ubuntu as a choice of OS on its systems...
GNU/Linux and Open Source is getting better and betters, and a good, really good alternative to Vista!
Only one thing... on my Fedora 6, Mustang's window repaint is not working with Compiz...
