Imagine if Sun had succeeded with #JavaOS back then… All device drivers are written in #Java and executed by the virtual machine.

@scrumtuous There was a #JavaOS with nice 3D #LookingGlass, ok basically Linux but in that time OpenOffice was also rewritten using Java… 😂 youtu.be/JXv8VlpoK_g

@notayenash @markjkoch @Sonikku_a2 Could a #JavaOS still be a viable system?

@jgmartn @HarperMitchell @kelseyhightower Yes, #JavaOS by Sun Microsystems en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaOS

Another reason to revive #JavaOS ;) cc/@brunoborges @robilad

Maybe in 2021 @oraclelabs will release Sun's #JavaOS under any FOSS license? 🤔🙂 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaOS Even CDDL* would do... * google.com/amp/s/nawilson… Heck you can even donate it to the @ComputerHistory Museum like MSFT did w the WinWord source... 🤷‍♂️ computerhistory.org/blog/microsoft…

Gizmos of the world unite. #Java #JavaOS #SunMicrosystems #Hydrate

TIL: #JavaOS

What a beauty. TIL there used to be a #JavaOS

Was looking through the garage today and found this gem. A never released Sun Microsystems extremely compact computer prototype that preceded the Apple Mac mini by 9 years. Based on the #SPARCstation5 chipset. Demoed in 1996 at the Summer Olympics, only 200 made. Ran #JavaOS.

This isn't a world I want to live in 🙄🙄😭😭 twitter.com/Sikthehedgehog… cc/@mreinhold @robilad @brunoborges @headius @bjhargrave // isn't this a good time to release Sun's #JavaOS even if "as is" for research purposes, @oraclelabs? Who do we need to bug to get this done? 🤔🤔🤔

@xranby @mreinhold Microsoft donated the WinWord source code.Why not do the same w #JavaOS @oraclelabs ? blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2014/03/2… @thomaswue
