SO 5.1 ran horribly on my linux PII-400 with 128 mb of ram - slower than AmiPro ran on my 286 back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. It seemed like the old set of "features" were already more than enough to overwhelm a reasonably configured system - would Sun not have been better off optimizing what was already there? And yes, the pseudo-W95 desktop is stupid.
