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.
What are you smokin'?
Acrobat should be as uqbiquitous as power for a desktop computer.
It is just plain bullshit that a contemporary version of reader is
not available for Solaris x86.
Sun needs to drive accross the valley, bring a checkbook and
an engineer for a given amount of time.
We have all the testers you want, so Adobe's "wolf cry" that
we have no regression testers is also bullshit.
I'm not new to the Adobe Acrobat game!

Maybe somebody at sun should pick up the ball where I left off!
