Since VMware will allow for a Linux host and Brandz supports Linux, I plan to try to install a VMware host in a Brandz environment. Although I haven't yet attempted this, perhaps it's worth a try for the occasional 'doz app? [iTunes!!] Another alternative I've considered is something like CodeWeavers CrossOver Office in a Brandz Linux zone. I don't know for certain, but I'd imagine this solution is basically WINE on Linux with Solaris x86 supports, so this may be less beneficial.
