Two years in the making and Sun Microsystems finally unwrapped a preview version of the JavaFX SDK to allow developers to start playing with it and developing cool applications. Some folks say that this is too late considering that players such as adobe air, Microsoft Silverlight and even the resource hog, Adobe Flash, are already reaping the benefits of being early in the market. Better late than never, right?

Anyway, the SDK was released earlier today and whilst it is a free download, Linux users are left out since the SDK is only available for Windows and Mac users. Not even Sun's own OpenSolaris does not have an SDK for JavaFX developers. Now, isn't it a bit weird?
