Sun's Java Desktop System 2 is No Improvement

OSNews tests Sun Java Desktop System 2 and finds it well below par: "Conclusively whatever problems I encountered with JDS1 are ALL still here with JDS2 and there are even new ones. I just can't recommend it, it is not polished and it is not tested properly. I would have expected a better job from Sun. ... Oh, and what's the deal with the over 200 pages of licensing agreements? Why the need for so much wasted paper?" The 2-page review with screenshots starts here.
