Cool.<\/p>\n<p>Now maybe its just my my memory and Sun did the same thing last year, but this seemed a step forward.<\/p>\n<p>I tend to agree with Sean McGrath that there can be a non-event transition from Windows the the &#8220;other stack&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On Windows I was a die-hard Emacs, Thunderbird, Firefox and Open Office wonk. Now that I&#8217;m on Ubuntu, I&#8217;ve switched to, um, Emacs, Thunderbird, Firefox and Open Office.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What does that mean for Sun? Keep at it folks, those SunRay&#8217;s can be used for a seamless experience.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly the registration was easy, the file and print was fast, and Sun is actually eating its own dogfood.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing to do with Java per se, but a good showcase nonetheless<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sun dogfood Originally uploaded by RedMonk Red.
