Sun Releases JavaFX

ink writes "Sun released JavaFX 1.0 today, in a bid to take on Adobe's Flash and Microsoft's Silverlight technologies. It is Sun's first Java release to include standardized, cross-platform audio and video playback code (in the form of On2 licensed codecs). The lack of a Linux or Solaris release is a notable absence. The development kit currently consists of the base run-time, a NetBeans/Eclipse plug-in and a set of artifact exporters for Adobe CS 3&4." An anonymous reader adds a link to several tutorials accompanying the new release.

We are going to support Linux and Solaris

One day, just like chrome is going to run on Linux, one day...

Really, it annoys Linux users to be treated like the later guy, it should be feel even worse for Solaris people, even Sun treats you like something that is ok not to support from the first day. It was possible to just delay the whole freaking release, but even for Sun it is perfectly ok to just screw these operating systems and only care about OS/X and windows, that's great.
