News Comment
This is a comment on news story: OpenSolaris will challenge Linux says Sun
It's a reply to comment:

Hmm... by: pinniped 
Desktop Solaris? OK
Replace Linux? Why not - but definitely not in the next 10 years.
Embedded Solaris? Hahahahahahahahaha!

I'd focus on desktop and server - Solaris has great potential to mop up most of the other aging *NIX deployments. If we're lucky, one day we'll have a UNIX world again - and Microsoft might stick to writing applications like "minesweeper". Chief problem with Solaris: not enough drivers - otherwise it's an excellent system.

I'm still waiting for Apple to open up a free driver development framework and to sell OSX-x86 to anyone who wants to buy it - if Billy Gates and Baldmer think Linux is a threat, I'd like to see how many chairs Baldmer hurls when he hears OSX is competing with WinDos.
