I guess I failed to make my point - you can't engineer an enterprise piece of 
software, for example for a bank or an insurance agency, or the any Fortune 100 
company, then come to the sales presentation and tell them that they must use 
OpenSolaris.

Banks for instance will laugh you right out of the conference room - they won't 
touch anything but Solaris 10. So if one wants to earn a living, software MUST 
run on an enterprise OS - in this case, that enterprise OS is Solaris 10.

That's my dilemma. And I believe I'm not alone, I talk to other ISVs, and they 
too are feeling the pain, only hiding it: when I ask them about OpenSolaris, 
they just laugh it off. And in truth, I am compelled to agree with them - the 
stuff is unstable, and as long as I get answer like "don't use /opt, stuff 
should go into /usr" from people that don't understand the issues yet make 
decisions in OpenSolaris, I know I'm in trouble.
