Ian- Actually, this is precisely what I think we need to avoid. You should run the OS that runs best on laptops on laptops, the OS that runs best on desktops on desktops, the OS that runs best on phones on phones, and the OS that runs best on servers on servers, and have the whole thing work together effectively.
Whether it is technically best (or even good) or not, Windows is the de facto OS for laptops - it works, people like it (in some cases a lot) and vote with their wallets, and that makes it best. I have run Solaris on a laptop, and it was, frankly, OK. No better. Lots of reasons, but that's the bottom line - Solaris didn't make my Sony laptop better. So, instead of just replacing Windows everywhere with Solaris "and then everybody will be happy," I want to just focus on replacing Windows SERVERS with Solaris. So, how do we deliver services to Windows clients from a Solaris server? -Bill This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
