I sent them an email as well and they provided the download url and a
temporary license for testing.

Hi David,
It would be great feature. We are facing TCO problem when having
Windows environment. We always had at least one extra machine to host
SRSS compare to other thin client.
Btw, where I can get this information? any beta version I can download
from?
Looking forward to it.
Thanks,
Fitra

I contacted virtual
Bridges for information on their win4sol
product. They were very quick to get back to me. I was provided a
download
copy of Win4sol Pro. I installed it on a Ultra20m2 running Solaris 10
11/06.
They provide two package installs, one is a standard X86 32bit, and
amd64. I
installed the amd64 package since I am running a Ultra20. The
instructions
provided are excellent. I was able to build the XP Pro image (20GB), and
install the image to a user in less than an hour.
I set up the /winsol/local.setings file to run XP in "maximized"
mode, the performance is excellent. I went to Youtube and ran a couple
of
video clips, there was barely any lag with video. Audio was good but
had a
few noise spikes noted. Using the Xserver instead of RDP for Windows
makes a
big difference. I ran mpstat and saw very little cpu usage. I was able
to
lock up win4sol once, but I am not sure what I did. For the most part
win4sol is solid for a pre-release.
My next test is to load the Sun Ray server software on my Ultra20
and test performance. I will post my results. Win4sol is not in release
yet,
infact they are still working on pricing. The target audience is Vmware
and
Terminal server users. I really like the concept, because it would be
interesting to see a 4600m2 running Solaris, SRSS, and win4sol all on
one
box. This would really reduce the TCO.
Sorry for the Rambling
Incognito Dave
