Blueray movie watching,... and consumers won't want to wait years -this will have to be built into OpenSolaris and soon ! So who will work with Sun on that ? "CyberStink" ?, WinDVD? ...or should they completely re-write their own media-apps for OpenSolaris ?,..., and if so who is gonna build the media-hardware for opensolaris ? sun ?, intel ?, ati ?, nvidia ?, analog devices ?, .... What about sony and their paranoid css encryptions ? when will ALL 'ix users' be able to "affordably" watch\listen to movies, music... that they purchase in HD quality on their own Home PC's ? These, any many others are all potentially e$pensive questions ! How much $$$ will all that cost Sun\OpenSolaris? can Sun\OpenSolaris give the average end-user a better yet cheaper equal PC experience by matching the likes of Microsoft and/or Apple on in the worlds' PC market ? I for one darn well hope so !? and things like Sun's ZFS,... are more than proof enough that Sun still has the "MUSCLE" to do it. -and maybe also the fact that the "server" and "client" market are becoming more and more transparent and less separate, and I do mean in a very "HARDWARE" sense. “…try looking in http://www.opensound.com, or the hardware manufacturers site for the drivers . ”
