There is no reason why a good OS can't be used everywhere. I
use Solaris on my desktop everyday. I think 40% is too small. We
should shoot for 100% of the desktop market.
Now there's some thinking I can get behind! :)

1. We in the community should not be expecting Sun to be addressing
all of the shortcomings in OpenSolaris. The community needs to be
involved in a meaningful way in improving it. A first step to
- Finish the port from Xsun to Xorg Xserver, including on Sparc.
- Virtual Terminals support which is in the works
- Complete the SunAudio to OSS migration.
- Make further progress with Project Indiana (e.g. provide the sorts

One could argue that not only does Solaris need more users, but its
quality rather than quantity. If the vast majority of the 40% are penny
pinching, proprietary software hating, thick-rim-glasses wearing, hunch
back coding geeks - it certainly won't attract vendors such as Adobe or

Leave the point and clickers behind. We in the Open

I think the 40% was a rectum pluck rather than it
being a fixed number
on which OpenSolaris should aim. I mean, if you look
at Mac, their
marketshare is below 10% and yet has a bigger
selection of software than
Solaris.

All
I want is all the coding geeks running Solaris on
their laptops/desktops. (Especially University
coding geeks... That is where people generally
develop their OS
preferences). Remember people deploy what they are

they develop with. (But
