Ok I will take the bait. Yes you could install solaris but lets talk about having it all. We will leave out windows I don't need that flamewar.
ZFS
64 bit
Dtrace
Ok that is grand all in solaris, now lets talk mac
Dreamweaver
Flash
Photoshop
indesign
Acrobat standard
maya
final cut pro
Time Machine data restore made easy (we are talking end user not you and I)
Office ( microsoft or openoffice)
All while still being user friendly yes I know you can add gnome and make it user friendly. I run SUSE I know all about Linux user friendly that I am not knocking. I am however talking about the ability not to configure Video cards, sound drivers, etc... and although linux works out the box on ost systems until hardware vendors really get on board solaris, and Linxu are at a disadvantage.
Don't quote me Dell, we still have to see what is to come of that in the average joe blow user space.
I am not all pro mac here I am saying you have to give it credit for the things it is doing correct that sloaris from a usability stand does not have,
