How many Solaris installs are being used as desktops, versus people
logging in and running apps that way remotely?  Heck, half the Sun boxes
I own dont even have the X/OpenWin/CDE stuff *installed*.

ohno.mrbill.net / sunhelp.org is an example - i've never even used
the framebuffer thats built onto the motherboard.

Personally, if you want a great "desktop" OS, run Windows, Linux, or
if you want esoteric and pretty, IRIX....  

When I used a Solaris desktop (for 2.5 years) I ran WindowMaker. CDE is
just crap, IMHO.
