If Oracle play their cards right on this one, and get a few ISVs to
supply applications (even for sale) for (Open)Solaris, they may have a
winner on their hand. Properly done, (Open)Solaris might manage what
Linux never did as a suitable replacement desktop/laptop OS for Windows,
especially if they get ISVs like Adobe aboard. And given the current
ice-age climate between Adobe and Apple, this might be the right time
for it. ;)
