Why should things like Azureus be preinstalled on OpenSolaris distributions when they aren't on Windows ? That just isn't a fair standard to hold OpenSolaris distributions to. You had to down load a bittorrent client and Photoshop etc initially on Windows. -- Darren J Moffat __

OpenSolaris will have to get it's users from the Windows world, and not the Linux world? But the Linux users come from the Windows world. And the Linux users have a mentality closer to Solaris, than any Windows user. Imagine there was only Windows and Solaris. For a winuser to switch to Solaris

No. If they killed my sparc32 machines, you have to deal with the loss of your 486es as well. If there is to be legacy support in opensolaris, the first priority MUST be sparc32, given that it was the last to fall (sparc32 was only fully pulled as of sol10). On 7/25/07, Girts Zeltins <[EMAIL PRO
