You might have a point there. However, I will write this for Solaris on the laptop: I ran Windows XP Home on this laptop before. Solaris runs faster on my laptop and is more responsive, thereby increasing my productivity. Waiting costs me time, and time is money, especially when I want to get something done. I will also write this: an average enterprise, even of the mom'n'pop kind, should have *NO* desktop systems, be they PCs or laptops. They should be using thin clients, and it's *OUR* job to provide that for them, moreso, it's *OUR* job to sell them that solution and convince them that that's the way to go. If you don't know anything about washing machines, and your washing machine breaks, you ask the repair guy for recommendations. Same with your car. And a computer, by an order of magnitude more complex device than either the washing machine or a car, should not be, must not be, any different.
