For a while Apple was considering it, and if Ellison and Jobs can come to an agreement, it would certainly become very popular very quickly. Apple probably ships more UNIX(tm) devices than any other vendor (often over 3M units in a quarter). Using revenue as a metric gives similar results. And who says the Unix "workstation" market is dead? :) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
