Sun's Global Desktop Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shiny-new-toys dept.

aphaenogaster writes "Suns Global Desktop version 4.2 has been released and appears to be quite effective. Applications load very quickly, and is not limited to Sparc or Solaris. Applications piped to a desktop across a slow DSL line appear to work very well. Sun has also set up a test server for users to play with."

    Once you login, you can launch an instance of Solitaire from within your remote webtop. I expect the MS-fanbois to jump all over this one even though it comes from Sun...
