The reason why the OpenSolaris installer took away options is because inexperienced users were complaining to Sun about the installation being too difficult and having to make too many decisions.


Good plan there, piss off the experienced users, with legacy servers/apps, who are the only market you will ever have EVER.

Hey, remember when Carly was running HP into the ground, and they decided they were going to piss off the engineers who would only use HP calculators, and they took out the equation library and moved all the keys around to appeal to high school students? They sure have that high school calculator market sown up now, you never even see a TI anymore.
