I don't want to expand upon the issues I face with Solaris 10 (01/06),
considering the nastiness I received on the yahoo mailing list; lets
just say that compared to even Windows XP, the experience as a
workstation 'user' has been less than desirable - any attempt my me in
the past to raise these issues has result in a backlash which has ranged
from abuse, cheap remarks or the deafening sound of silence.
I tend to agree with this as well. I have brought numerous issues up
over the years with engineers, Sun sales, and have always been met with
the look of death for not accepting Solaris "AS IS." No product is
perfect, and as I outlined here:

Absolutely, completely agree 100% on #2. We suck monkeys.
Having JDS in Solaris 10 based on a 2 year old version of GNOME [2.6] as
opposed to what Red Hat have in Fedora Core 5 is pretty personally
embarrassing to me. We're working actively to fix this, and in 1 or 2
builds time, you'll see GNOME 2.14 hit Nevada. So at least we'll be able
to compare apples with apples - however, there's obviously significant
improvements we need to make as a desktop team in terms of good Solaris
integration, and now that the distraction of JDS on Linux has gone there
will likely be more and more focus on this over the coming months.
In the meantime, I'd encourage you to try out the Vermillion builds, and
give us feedback on them [1], or wait a couple of builds for integration
into Nevada.
