Oracle killed Solaris. I think it was a big blow to see sparc and sunos disappear. I realize Xeon and intel kind of took over mainframe sector but still sad

Honestly I think a consumer SunOS that took advantage of cpus with tons of cores would have been one of the first truly succesful unix forks. so many people run servers at home for fun and outside of freebsd or some proprietary NAS system there was a niche for a home version without a server contract

I'm a Windows guy but I grew up reading PC magazines that had me daydreaming over those huge sol supercomputers so I have always had a huge soft spot for them
