I am not sure if the title rightfully claims Software Design as the subject of this book. It really is about a group of people at Sun dreaming up their next generation computing environment, anno 1995. Now, 2004, years after I first read the book, their ideas and ideals are just as valid. In many ways, the web got us further away from a pleasant and productive desktop environment than people would have imagined back in 1995, I think.
