OK, I just HAVE to comment on this.

Browsers are only a portion of the overall issue. Selecting a browser 
that is used across the entire platform is  good thing. The real gotcha 
is the plug ins. I use Firefox as my browser of choice, and I am very 
happy with it. It's stable for me, and works well, but it's difficult to 
look at pages that have Shockwave, Flash, or pdf plugins.

Designing something to use, like a browser  is easy, it's getting other 
SOFTWARE vendors and communities to support you that's hard. Until Open 
Solaris (or Solaris in general, for that matter), can get a number of 
desktop ISV's to port to Solaris, it will be just another "cool demo", 
and go nowhere else.

Find a standard, and get support behind it. That's the way to move forward.
