Solaris/OpenSolaris is not specifically a Server or
Workstation OS, it's an
OS. People use it. Oracle/Sun currently only sells
server-hardware. So, trying
to derive from that fact, that Solaris/OpenSolaris is
only a server OS is a
conclusion done by someone. But, if people would be
using Solaris/OpenSolaris
more for Desktop, then that would be helping nVIDIA
in porting/migrating (my
guess).
AFAIK, the Ultra 27 (fairly powerful x86 tower, notwithstanding the name)
and Sun Rays (thin client, used together with a server) are still sold,
so "Oracle/Sun currently only sells server-hardware" isn't accurate.
I thought the U27 had vanished form the portfolio, I couldn't find it on
sun.com last time I looked.
