Yesterday I spent some time trying to figure out how I can better support people who are running OSX. I came to the conclusion that it's not possible for me to do this, and in fact, Apple doesn't want me to. As part of that process, it made me rethink OpenSolaris a little bit. Here's my list of things I like about OpenSolaris:

• It's not OSX
• I can install it in a VM
• It's trying to get packaging right
• It's Free Software

Caveats to the above list:

• My reservations about a brand new ZFS-based packaging system
• It may be Free Software, but it's CDDL

Thank you Sun, for not being the cess-pool of arrogant wanks that Apple is!
