Community contributor Jürgen Keil and Sun engineer Jan Setje-Eilers have been working together to get OpenSolaris based operating systems to work under Apple's BootCamp. Today Jan announced that he had successfully installed and booted build 36 of Solaris Nevada (plus some hacks). A series of bugfixes to make OpenSolaris distributions "just work" have been identified.

I'm not making complaints. Just observations. So what makes these machines unique now-a-days? With what are we able to still call these machines "Macs"?

Good quality hardware that have also the added value to be able to run OS X.

(Not to mention the good design quality, especially important on notebook)

That's a Mac nowadays.
