Hmmm. A Windoze Branded Zone on a smokin' fast
Opetron server seems to me
like an ideal way to run the occassional Windoze app.
My SUn PCi IIpro
ard is starting to show its age: running it across
the network is kinda
slow.

Since VMware will allow for a Linux host and Brandz supports Linux, I plan to
try to install a VMware host in a Brandz environment. Although I haven't yet
attempted this, perhaps it's worth a try for the occasional 'doz app?

Another alternative I've considered is something like CodeWeavers CrossOver
Office in a Brandz Linux zone. I don't know for certain, but I'd imagine this
solution is basically WINE on Linux with Solaris x86 supports, so this may be
less beneficial.

what about porting wine to Solaris? might be harder to do than running
it inside a branded zone but it's worth the shot
See http://www.blastwave.org/wine/
Just last night, I got Wine running on my home Solaris machine using the
"latest" package. I'm running a copy of nevada build 35 that I grabbed
from a Sun-internal server, but I don't think OpenSolaris would be any
different.
