Phil sent me this InfoWorld article:
Is Sun working on a desktop partnership with Apple? The question surfaced during the media Q&A session and Schwartz looked to his execs for backup. "We don't comment on partnerships," responded Sun CTO of Software John Fowler.Verrrrryy interesting, grasshopper.Implicitly acknowledging the demo had that certain OS X-like sheen, Schwartz went on. “I don’t think there is a Sun employee that doesn’t love Apple. We would love to partner with Apple, they are everyone’s favorite company. Stay tuned.”
The press conference was actually demoing “Project Mad Hatter” – a Sun bundle of Linux-based desktop apps (a little more info here and here – post in comments if you find more).
I’m still looking for a server OSS stack. Wanted: shared calendaring and contacts on an OSS server that lets people use Windows/Outlook on the client side. There are a bunch that are close, but they mainly don’t seem to scale down very well (OpenGroupware and Bynari are the leading contenders, FWIW).
