Some wag pointed out that trading wireless support and decent screen resolution for a shiny apple logo wasn't such a clever trade :-> 5 years ago he would have been completely right and I would have walked away with my tail between my legs. But Sun is treating Solaris x86 as a serious product these days and I only bought the Mac because I could see that these probs are being looked at (and in the meanwhile MacOs is simply a more familiar Unix based environment than Windows can ever hope to be, with or without Cygwin.)

Why not Linux then? (an trust me, I'd use Linux ahead of Windows any day.) Well, that's a good question and would be fine for many people but I need to test things that I'm proposing to do on Solaris Sparc based servers so Solaris x86 on my laptop is a perfect starting point.
