Today is the day

Today is the day we make JDS Preview the default Sun Ray desktop at Sun. Starting tomorrow users will have to explicitly choose CDE if they want to run it. It sure is nice to finally see this happening. We've been talking about it for so long.

It will be interesting to see how much our percentage of CDE users changes. How many people will continue to run CDE even if they have to make the choice every time they log in to a SunRay? Today we have 45% CDE users. I'll let you know what the number is next Monday. One thing that probably will slow down the uptake is that no one will see JDS Preview as the default until they log out and back in. Some users only log out and back in about once a month if that.
