Opinion: Why Solaris and MacOS X should unite?
,----[ Quote ]
| The weak side of Solaris it is user-land. While making good shape on
| server, Solaris looses ground on workstation market, especially to
| Linux. Lot of workstation software packages, which were running on
| SPARC Solaris, are not ported to Solaris x86, but to Linux instead.
| Linux supports more hardware, it receives more frequent updates and
| ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) see no point in supporting two
| very similar (from the workstation point of view) operation systems
| on the same hardware. Unclear situation on the SPARC side (for the
| workstation) only increases the problem.
