Article about the adoption of the JDS

The name of the Java Desktop System is a little confussing because its not Java, like many thought at first it was a native Java OS (Which many would of liked) but it most likely gets the Java name from it having so many Java written programs which gives it a huge array of instant usablity.

Sun is a gret company, they are developing LookingGlass a Java3D (a 3D scenegraph like DirectX) which brings your desktop to a true 3D world, not just rendering but able to interact with appliactions ina 3D way, so they can be double sided, or fold up in to a book case fashion.

Windows Vista will have 3D rendering for its desktop (Unless they removed that also?) But this will only make it look smoother and slower. No imagination has been put in to it like that of LookGlass which is at the moment mainly on Linux based systems.
