Sun's Looking Glass Provides 3D View

PC World: "The reason Nicholas refers to Project Looking Glass as a skin, and not an operating system, is because it is merely that--something that sits atop an operating system. 'At the moment Project Looking Glass is still in development, and so only runs on a computer using the Java Desktop System. We are currently shipping the developer's version with Java Desktop System and Solaris, and plan to have a working version available for Linux,' he says. The company has been showing its 3D desktop for some time. However, the developer release may indicate the project is coming to fruition ... At the moment, four applications supported by Project Looking Glass are Mozilla 1.4 and its mail client; Star Office; Evolution's mail client; and Real Player."
