There is a lot more Linux specific on GNOME.
THe most important task we have with OpenSolaris is to convince people that
trying to compile on Solaris is a must for every OpenSource project.
For this reason, it is important to better advertize the free Sun Studio Tools.
True, but there are alot of lazy programmers out there, still holding onto the idea of 'if it compiles, ship it' along with the 'if it compiles with GCC, it works' - its going to be difficult to convince some of the OSS programmers out there to test their software using Studio 10/11 compilers given that they'll say, 'well, it compiles with GCC, so why should I care about anything else?"
