KDE.News
interviews Rick
Berenstein, Xandros Chairman and CTO and Ming Poon,Vice President for
Software Development. "
Ming Poon: When we first started our Linux
desktop effort back in 1997, we actually implemented a 100% pure Java
solution called Cabot which was running on the StrongARM processor on a
little NC (Network Computer) called the NetWinder. It had pretty well all
the key functionalities of KDE or any other desktop environment including
toys like an Internet news ticker in the task bar. It is probably something
more close to a true Java desktop than what Sun's Java Desktop is today. It
was really 100% Java."
