Again.. more focus has to be put on Data Center deployments and
management than desktop usage. I would love to see OpenSolaris
compete with Windows or MacOS X on the desktop. But realistically,
not even Linux is making a dent.. so where is the return on making an
enterprise OS into a desktop OS? That's not to say putting effort
into the desktop doesn't make sense. Just that it shouldn't be the
deciding factor in important features like provisioning or
management.
I second this. Solaris as a desktop is illusionary. What am I supposed
to do with it? Have you asked Adobe,Autodesk,Avid,$vendor to support
Solaris? What is the timeframe?
There would be plenty of opportunities to create value for a server
product. Where is the Server part of OpenOffice à la sharepoint? A
replacement for OS X Server might be interesting too...
Linux is a mess wrt standardized management/monitoring/ provisioning but
as of now Solaris has made very little effort here. WBEM or
VisualPanels? What the heck is it good for to have both?
cheers

The point is that they don't *need* or have to be in the installer.
They're just as beneficial and useful at firstboot, in a Visual
Panel, or somewhere else. There is no overwhelmingly great reason
to force them to be part of the install process. Installation
should be about installation and the minimum amount of
configuration to get the system going. Anything beyond that is a
pollution of the process IMO.
Our customers want an "hands-off" install; an install which can be
customized to a point where the system reboots and nothing needs to
be done.
"Visual panels" do not work when you need to install 100s of systems.
The fact that you are required to configure a system after it is
installed is a bug. Any system which requires post-install
configuration is broken to a point that is not usable.
