Since OpenSolaris does not include libgpod or gpod, I'd say that iPod support is probably pretty bad on OpenSolaris. > (And IMHO, the Windows versions of iTunes and Safari not only look > rather out-of-place on Windows, but are considerably buggier than their > Mac equivalents.

The fact that MacOS is also a UNIX platform makes me think that you could, perhaps, expect WebKit to work a bit better than you might expect. Whether it would be better than the Windows version, I'm not sure, though. Brian
