Criticizing Sun's Java Desktop System
An anonymous reader writes "Uh-oh. PJ is not a happy camper. 'Sun has made its choice and opted for The Way Things Used To Be,' she declares in a Linux Viewpoint at LinuxWorld. 'It's a new world, and Sun is not in it,' she declares. Her gripe is with the Java Desktop System, which she argues is grossly cavalier with the GPL and doesn't properly acknowledge its roots. Her main objection: 'You really could get the CD and run it without every knowing it had anything GNU/Linuxy in it or that the GPL provides you with guaranteed freedoms that Sun would like you not to know you have.' Feisty read, as ever, from Groklaw's founder and editor. That Jonesian coinage 'GNU/Linuxy' is worth the read alone!"

winword.exe has troubles launching. And no default associatiuons for .wma and .wmv, so I can't visit Yahoo Launch and view D12 videos.
By the way, D12 has new album out today.
Why does it seem impossible to find a picture of Pamela Jones anywhere?
Yes, I know it doesn't matter what she looks like. I don't care that it doesn't matter. I'm still curious, and the image is conspicuous by its absence.
