Sun plans to incorporate accessibility throughout the application stack within the Solaris Operating System, including: • Incorporating GNOME 2.0 as the next desktop for the Solaris OS, thus delivering built-in accessibility solutions. GNOME 2.0 for the Solaris OS will include accessible desktop applications and assistive technology that meets the needs of users with disabilities. • Providing an accessible Web browser and office productivity suite. • Enabling the system management software stack (Sun Lustre Storage System, Solaris Resource Manager, Sun Management Center, etc.) for accessibility. Many of Sun’s system management applications are written with Java Foundation Classes Swing components and are thus already enabled for accessible use on an accessible desktop (such as GNOME 2.0 for the Solaris OS).
