dream, dream, dream, dream ... x86 is comming, and is taking large server share( and linux with it ), and the only Risc is growing up, is ARM because of the mobile market boom...
Solaris will be another AIX, because is that what the company who owns it now, want it to become.. another marginalized unix... the game is not about technology anymore, or passion.. its about profit.. and they primary bussiness is the database brand, the one that is too tight with Linux and x86. Solaris will have its own share "always" but, forget about popularity... and Mac for server? that thing is a frankenstein... did you see its source?? i still wonder how its still working.. checkit out this supercomputer page on wikipedia for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercomputer and see what im talking about.. x86 and linux growing ..and that is not only on the commodity machines like it was in the past.. the linux makert share rise its not magic, but its Intel,hp,ibm and Oracle(and even google) burning a lot of money on it.. these are something that we cant turn our backs to it..(look at these team :s) maybe illumos can make this flame going on... its a very nice OS , but it cant turn its back to x86 market, or it will only loose..
