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.

    I bet if Microsoft did this in Windows, you'd be attacking and criticizing them for adding "eye candy", slowing the system down, hurting performance, etc. But since it's not Microsoft, you praise it uncategorically.

    Hypocrites, all of you.
