... , now a "legacy system", according to Wikipedia. But it took Google to build a true Java-based OS, and what's more, it took Google to make developers care about it. Think about GWT. GWT must be an acquired taste--I admit, I don't get it. But Google has been riding that horse for some time, and it's finally paying off for them.

Google unleashes internal JavaScript tools
The Register —
... "We're particularly excited (and humbled) to open source them to encourage and support web development outside Google," Google said on its blog. "We want to hear what you think, but more importantly, we want to see what you make."
