Why relegate Solaris to a niche?
Not relegating Solaris to a niche. I just see that the desktop's days are
numbered, but the general consumer obviously isn't ready for a mindset
shift. Hauling floppies around, anyone?
When the shift does happen, and it already did start taking place, Solaris
will be the #1 operating environment powering the thin clients, web/AJAX
powered applications and home set-top boxes and appliances. Desktop
applications and the desktop computing model as we know them today will be
simply obsolete. You might vehemently disagree with me, might even have
trouble envisioning that kind of a future, but it is coming. It's already
knocking with the "Web 2.0".
And since that will be the mainstream, I certainly don't consider it to be
"niche market".
