Sun to GPL Project Looking Glass

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the java-eye-candy dept.

elleomea writes "According to The Register, Sun is releasing Project Looking Glass, their new GNU/Linux based 3D window managing system, under the GPL during their JavaOne conference (beginning today)." The screenshots of Looking Glass make it out to be very pretty. I'm not sure if I have the spare CPU cycles to power such an environment, but it's sure nice to drool over.

    Is this some sort of high-concept System Shock 3?

    Where's SHODAN? Where are my cybernetic zombies?

    Looks like they dumbed down the interface so they could an X-Box port as well.

    Shame shame.

    Please tell us, when Java is Open Source, how will standards compliance be enforced?
