Better than a Mac!
Erwann just announced the availability of Compiz for Solaris. This is soooo cool. It is like running a Mac, but better. It is Solaris!!
My laptop is running OpenSolaris build 70 (using dual displays with the latest NVIDIA drivers) and Compviz is running on both screens. Being able to see a cube rotate when switching desktops, and having all of the windows shrink when I want to selcect one is so cool.
This is the eye-candy that Solaris has been sorely missing. A huge thanks to the GNOME team and all of your desktop enhancements.

While the idea of running Compiz on Solaris is cool, your blog posting is not too helpful, as the first two links out of three links in it, don't work.

Scott, thanks for the comment. It was quite bad form posting those ill formatted links. The links are now corrected.
Sorry & Thanks
