Sun will release Project Looking Glass under the GPL, which is good news for people who may want to add to it. I saw PLG in action a few months ago in London and as far as eye candy goes, it was rather impressive. It opened up a whole new look to what the desktop could look like and no doubt will look like.
It seems that gone are the days when to have a better looking and easy to use desktop environment you would be forced to use Windows. Other projects will also be released open source, including Solaris in some shape or form in the future but details remain unconfirmed at the moment as of course in the case of an OS, it's a hard thing to just distribute open source without considering a lot of things.
