The Sun Java Desktop System is an affordable, comprehensive, fully integrated desktop client environment that includes administration and developer tools as well as enterprise ready support to help reduce the complexity of desktop management and provide a secure computing environment. The Java Desktop System lowers business costs by supporting older hardware, while offering end users an easy-to-use desktop interface. This paper provides the IT implementor, such as a CIO, system architect, IT manager, or system administrator, with an overview of the options available for migration from a Microsoft Windows ("Windows") operating environment to the Java Desktop System. In addition to step-by-step migration procedures, this paper also describes the interoperability between the Java Desktop System and a Microsoft environment.
