The Register looks at Sun's plans for a Linux desktop. "Jonathan Schwartz thinks Sun will be the first company to present a deployable Linux desktop with all the trimmings - the management software, applications (iPlanet) and the channel - to Fortune 500 customers. Since no one else of Sun's size is trying to do this, and IBM and Hewlett Packard are Windows licensees and are doing Linux everywhere except on the desktop, he's probably right. At least on this scale."
