Yesterday, the OpenSolaris team released OpenSolaris 2008.05, the fruit of Project Indiana. The first review we found was published over at Blogbeebe, which is overall fairly positive. At the same time, Practical Technology believes that "OpenSolaris has finally been released just in time to die".

Yes, "Crossover Games" already has a "Buy Now" link on the codeweavers front page. (With OpenArena, why would anyone need anything else? ;-) ) After having thought a little more, I believe that the BSD version is to be officially supported on PC-BSD, with assurances that it will unofficially work on FreeBSD.
Time for the OpenSolarians to start lobbying, I guess. :-)

I don't think it would be too difficult to compile it on OpenSolaris either. Atleast Wine compiles just fine as long as you have GNU toolchain installed. (for those interested, look here http://blogs.sun.com/psum/entry/let_s_check_out_wine )
But unless they have some Solaris advocates in-house willing to do the compiling et al I doubt it's going to happen.

In related news, I hear that Crossover Office is, or shortly will be, available for FreeBSD. And since I am already posting about this... I believe that they are also spinning off a more fast moving gaming version in addition to the more conservative Crossover Office product.
That's a new contender for Cedega, and I personally like Crossover better. They contribute to Wine much much more.
I do not know if any BSD will actually be officially supported but there is an unsupported version available for download on their website. It sounds a good thing, seen lots of positive feedback. Haven't tried it out myself, though.
And Crossover Gaming has been available for a while now
