You can't keep going around and redefining your question just because someone answered it. You asked for "name 5 high profile, main stream, software titles that have come to Solaris x86." You didn't say they had to be PC applications. Oracle is very "high profile, main stream" that has come to X86. In the CAD market, ProE and Cadence are very high profile. I worked for a CAD software developer several years ago, and the idea of being able to run good CAD software on a "PC" as opposed to a $40k "workstation" would have been amazing. It seems your definition of "high profile, main stream, software titles" have to be something used on a PC by an administrative assistant or accountant. You're just not going to find that on any UNIX like system, and the lack of those specific programs doesn't mean that Solaris X86 is useless as a desktop, just that it may not be useful in those particular environments. -spp This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
