The Crazy SUN O.S.

[mith81]

This project started back in 2003 or 2004. I still remember spending almost a whole weekend back in late 2004 building it and solving all the dependencies to make it work on some version of suse linux.

Compiz/Beryl came much later than that, and they mostly used ideas from both Looking Glass and MacOSX.

Although most of the things that LG3D does seem pointless now, back in 2004 they looked just amazing.

[unmedication]

Of course it look amazing.

But what is the point ? Except to impress people and say :

"Look what I can do with MY computer" it does not relieve from fatigue and poer comsumption. Does it ?

[ArkBlitz]

Hmm... a bit of hacking and this could do it to CompizFusion.

[FishGush]

looks good.. but nothing new.. :)

[meyer2920]

omg nothing new? its from 2007.. ofc it's not new, but it was in 07

[FishGush]

@meyer2920 yap.. but compiz/beryl was released sep 06 with similar features..

[iKickBeavers]

me and my niggas be usin da solaris all da tiem for da big booty hoes and dat lil wayne. bang bang nigga west 4th street all day NYC

[Xzeleous]

Now THATS the future.

[ZXRulezzz]

Holy crap! They turned Solaris into Windows Vista!!! 8-O

[joeab09]

With amazing time forseeing technology since the stable was released in 2006....

[rjgoverna]

@joeab09 what? the highlight of this was a Post-It behind a window! The crowd went will with a Post-IT ! It's ridiculous...

[LTS1287]

@ZXRulezzz: minus the fail and plus the java based desktop environment.

[mugheerah]

O.S means operation System

SUN is a pure UNIX Platform

UNIX is the FATHER of linux

the Letter X in linux point that linux is so close related to Father UNIX

[hiiri1983]

I would suggest to Linux programers to make something like those for Linux too..good luck people...

[bmhartsfield]

It is a Looking Glass desktop on Solaris

[winfr34k]

What OS is that? Is it Solaris or what?!

[tckronos]

so lame

[kwg2005]

is this solaris?

[kcotham]

This is really nice. Why have they not made Looking Glass mainstream?

[ChuckVanDamme]

useless features

[1337BananaL33TVostok]

thought the same thing lol

[DandamanV]

WHAT THE HELL!!! THAT'S AWESOME!!!

but i can imagine that it would use quite a large amount of processing power... where can you get it? (somewhere in australia perhaps?)

[rollinroll]

Compiz Fusion or Beryl for linux can already do this kind of stuff...

[ronnysoeberg]

What do you mean "already"? this is a video from quite a while back. Beryl and Compiz stole everything from sun.

[9uickbr0wn]

This project was abandoned because it became obsolete when linux beryl showed up.

[bogoid]

@9uickbr0wn

linux is nothing compared to this... NOTHING!

[fairyheli2]

solaris ownz!!

[arranmc182]

this is not a OS sorry guys just google Sun Looking Glass

[c3dr1cb]

why google ? it's Sun Looking Glass

[arranmc182]

c3dr1cb i ment go to google and look up sun looking glass

[tommyratboy]

i love solaris really hope its popularity grows and maybe over time it will even take over other free alternatives such as freebsd and linux.

[S3phir0th1776]

dang! this OS is PWNSOME!

[victor314159]

Solaris was a really good OS. It is to bad they didn't include a desktop env like this with it years ago in their prime days.

[computerx94]

this look like linx

[Keruaran]

People its not Solaris its Looking Glass, a desktop environment which runs on Linux, Solaris and Windows.

And for this demo presentation it was running on Linux.

[MrTwinsen]

Thank you for telling me this! :-D

[russellbrouillard]

compiz + linux pwns this

[themangodess]

This is the best OS ever, just look at all those super cool graphics

[Keruaran]

Its not an OS its a desktop environment.

[bosyosy1015]

Holy crap.. This is the first time I've seen the Solaris OS.. Now I regret having windows. O_O

Where do you get this OS?

[NovackProductions]

You can run this on Linux, Solaris, or on Windows

[AntiMarxist4life]

that does not really answer his question lol! Now, onto his question; where can you get this OS??

[NovackProductions]

Its NOT AN OS. Its a program that you can run on Linux, Solaris, or Windows. But you need a high spec machine to run it.

[tiechiman]

Solaris is the best OS ever :)

[virokill132]

where can i get this!

[gjtfreak]

Thats ridiculous and cool at the same time

[strouthokamilo]

sun solaris ftw

[Overconstitutional]

That voice sounds like a robot.
