I did not say it was a bad idea, I quoted the article that it is not on
the product roadmap. We also have many customers, mainly in the .mil
and .gov that would be greatly disappointed by us releasing a soft client.

The key take aways from that article are:
"Soft Ray, at its Sun Labs research arm"

"The application is not yet on Sun's product road map, according to O'Neill"
The labs create a lot of stuff and only a fraction of it become a
product. In fact that is where Sun Ray started IIRC. This client
required significant changes to the Sun Ray server, did not use smart
cards, and had other issues. Bottom line tt was just a proof of concept
demo and this reporter got overly excited.
Well, we here at Emory University have tried many times to bring this
to market. We have been pushing in every direction we have available.
We even went so far as to make a proposal to do joint work on it with
Sun.
This would make it ideal for our situation. Instructors could setup
their demonstrations from the comfort of their own desktop in their
office and then have it ready for use on the SunRay in the classrooms.
This would prevent them from having to waste class time in order to
get demos setup.
I am greatly disappointed by your comments.
