OKay .. and Lotus Notes on both x86 and Sparc as the client as well as Lotus
Notes Server ( called Domino now ) on both x86 and Sparc.
Let's try a really simple list .. like just 1 .. 2 .. 3 ...
1. Adobe Acrobat
2. Lotus Domino
3. Adobe Photoshop
4. Lotus 1-2-3
5. MSIE ( yes seriously, I had this on Solaris once MSIE 5.0 I think )
6.
The MSIE could be solved if SUN bought out mainsoft, made their Windows -> Unix layer free, and use the abstratction layer to provide ActiveX and other features which companies need, in respects to clients, and intranet sites.
