Put real effort back into Solaris on Intel to provide a path from commodity
crap to the SPARC platform. Then put real effort into making it more of a
desktop friendly OS (a la Linux look/feel).

You can stand above the fray and wait for people to come to their senses, or
you can grab them by the hand and pull them from the fight.

Of course, real geeks like Solaris the way it is, but we are a small portion
of the planet and most of us don't have corporate purchasing power.
