FCS = first customer ship
A release cycle for a Sun product typically goes:
beta 1 (it works a bit)
beta 2 (it kinds works)
beta 3 (we think it works)
release candidate 1 (you might think it works)
release candidate 2 (lots of people think it works)
first customer ship (it really does work now)
.01 (oops, except for that bit)
So the FCS is the version that they expect customers who
want the product to really work to use. In my experience with
JDKs, even the betas are pretty good.
