A. The proof-of-concept was built to demonstrate our vision of 3D desktop possibilities. It showed many of the ideas Sun had for the desktop. The proof-of-concept was built as a demo only, not a productizible version. The open source developer’s release is completely rewritten with full-scale productization in mind. It leverages Java 3D for better scalability and performance, and provides key features for real life usage including client-server architecture for system robustness. We’ve switched our devlopment effort from the proof-of-concept version to the open source developer’s release.
