First of all, Solaris on x86 has been around for about 15 years, so I'm not sure of the 2 years you mention, it's almost 3 years since S10 has shipped. Second, while it might not seem like a lot, the desktop has been getting some enhancements, and more and more support for the hardware continue to go back. Things like basic power management, wifi drivers, and JDS itself is the first real change from CDE as the desktop. This is really user experience oriented. I don't know what you mean by "no movement", but from my view Solaris on x86 has not only improved, it's leading in some areas (DTrace, Zones, SMF, ZFS, etc...). -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 IHV/OEM Group _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
