Because UNIX makes a clear separation of [I]mechanism[/I] and [I]policy[/I]. Just because Solaris implements a window manager or managers popular on Linux does not make it any more or less like Linux. You really should read "The Art of UNIX Programming" by Eric S. Raymond. In his book, he writes: [I]"Rule of Separation: Separate policy from mechanism; separate interfaces from engines."[/I] http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/ch01s06.html#id2877777 This is one of the core UNIX concepts. You must understand this concept in order to understand UNIX.
