anyone going to the expense of running solaris shouldnt really be slowing it down with a gui. but, whatever.

I count ME as a short lived exception. it filled a tiny gap between 98se and XP for a short period of time, and never really needed to exist.

and pretty much any "home" version of anything - which are basically stripped down versions of the real version, with more wizards and irritating assumptions made for you. and more packaged software... dont forget the preinstalled garbage.

which is another reason alot of home users dont think windows works. it comes with all sorts of crazy junk from manufacturers and advertising partners that is likely to screw up your PC. I think its a testament to window's stability that it runs AT ALL with that garbage on there, and that its possible to write such diverse and unregulated trash in the first place.
