GNOME 2 to Replace CDE As Solaris Default DE http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/03/041214
Gentu writes "OSNews [0]had a quick chat with John Fowler, Sun
Software's CTO about Solaris 10, Java, the web services competition and
more. In the interview, Fowler reveals the timing in which Gnome2 will
become the default desktop environment: Solaris 10, which is expected
to have its first beta later in 2003. This is a huge step for Gnome2 in
the UNIX world, as it will be replacing CDE for good as the default
desktop environment ([1]betas of Gnome 2 for Solaris 8/9 already exist)
and becoming a standard part of the large operating environment with
millions of installations worldwide. Additionally, Sun is now pushing
developers on coding on either GTK+ 2.x or Java (they have in fact
[2]revealed plans on creating GTK+ bindings for Java which will make
all future Solaris apps look like alike)."
