Well done for this, but don't forget that you can install Solaris/OpenSolaris in a VirtualBox machine. I have a recently-purchased laptop which is running Vista (Spit!) and am running os200805 in a VB (OK - no-one uses "VB" as an abbreviation for "Visual Basic" any longer - it's long dead...) machine with no problems whatsoever - except that Vista (Spit!) croaks twice daily at least :-( The VB setup procedure is very easy indeed. And Sun VB... Regards... Sean.
