Why do you think we're designing OpenSolaris as a desktop first?
Because of
the LiveCD? What about the Automated Install images, or the text
based
interactive installer? Lots of room for both, and over the last
couple of
releases, there's been a higher priority on getting some of the
server/enterprise features in place.
Because anytime anyone tries to offer any criticism or documents
issues trying to use it as a server, the response is 'well we're
concentrating on the desktop first'.
Certainly it made sense to focus on desktop and developer as ideal
candidates to test out some of the technology we were building. The
end game was always going to be enterprise and building something that
would carry over into the next generation enterprise platform. The
response was more likely to be acknowledgement that some things
weren't quite ready yet for the larger scale.
