Project Mad Hatter: The Desktop Alternative

If you've become complacent about upgrading your desktop
operating environment -- either postponing the decision or
instinctively adopting the latest version of whatever you
run -- then Sun wants you to know about Project Mad Hatter.
With this Linux-based desktop alternative, you'll be able
to control costs, tighten security, and better manage your
diverse infrastructure. Open standards, open file formats,
open protocols -- what more could you want?
