If I considered Solaris viable for the long-term (which I won't until we can get answers from our sales team on all the policy questions), I would use it for both desktop and laptop if I could.
Clearly I'd like at least some development systems to run the same OS as my production servers. That doesn't require laptops. However personally I'd like to do normal day to day work on something other than Windows or Mac. But the requirements for that are going to be hard to meet: * support for a reasonable variety of desktop and laptop hardware; I'd prefer for my primary OS to be the same on desktop and laptop * support for key applications. For me this includes word processing that can handle reasonable typography, and iTunes or a reasonable replacement. * looks nice. If I'm going to sit in from of it 16 hours a day, I want it to look nice. I haven't seen anything other than Mac or Windows that meets the last two requirements (and among them the Mac is superior), even Linux, so for me (if I end up considering Solaris viable at all), the priority is on development systems. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
