 Well for one, Sun Studio has been removed, or I just can't find it now.

   
SXDE install option dropped?

I think they'd be better off ditching Star Office from the install over the 
compilers for most people, but  oh well.

In my experience the same people who know that OpenOffice is free, and in most 
cases know OpenSolaris comes with StarOffice, do not know that the compilers 
are free to use. People use the 'pay for the compiler' argument against Solaris 
to this day, and Linux fanboys just love to trot this one out... They're the 
ones that know about OpenOffice/StarOffice, but don't know much about the 
developer environment. I realize this is a sad demonstration of massive 
communal ignorance, but hey that does go with being a fan of an OS that's a 
reinvented wheel.

Having cc and CC and f95 in a common directory (/usr/bin) or something 
along those lines would go a LONG way towards stopping the $$ compiler false 
flagging that goes on.
