What can I say? Utterly fantastic. I never would have thought I was looking at an Installer for Solaris. As far as I'm concerned it rivals the experiences of installing Mac OS and any Linux distro that has something more than a text based installer. Stunning. So much more sophisticated looking than our current offering (which is obvious given the history of things). I can't wait until it is available. And this is only the beginning which makes it even better. As I said to you privately, Fan-Freaking-Tastic! Kudos to the GUI guys. And I can't wait to see how it all gets wired up.
