Well, in my mind, OpenSolaris was on the way to becoming a "download iso", "burn disc", "insert into target machine", "boot to CD-ROM", "install", and "run"... Like, hum... Solaris maybe... That's what I'm expecting to see when people say: "We've open-sourced Solaris", or "Solaris is Open Source" So my expectation is: An open-source distro based on Solaris technology with ZFS et al, that will be "the next version" of Solaris that people put on their servers to run their enterprise, home, media center, embedded systems, set-top boxes, cars, bootable usb keys, etc... I'm fairly sure I'm not the only person with that expectation.
