Hello Tom,
Thank you for you fast yet comprehensive reply. Couple months ago
I wrote 'wish list' email and this tread lasted for a long time
on advocacy mailing list. Anyway, I'm more then happy to bundle it
here.
Thanks,
Uros

'OpenSolaris Advocacy' (advocacy-discuss at opensolaris.org)
To whom it may concern!
This is 'wish list' of software me and my colleagues (and other
people, too) would like to see ported on OpenSolaris.
1. Adobe (whole software portfolio)
2. Wolfram Research - Mathematica
3. MathWorks - Matlab
4. CATIA (Computer aided engineering software)
5. Cadence (whole software portfolio but OrCad first)
6. Autodesk (whole software portfolio)
7. Agilent Technologies (whole software portfolio)
8. National Instruments (whole software portfolio)
Maybe, SUN could think about giving software engineering support and
with joint forces with above mentioned companies to port all these
software.
Also, better font rendering and some GUI developments has to be done
but I already sent email to Alan Coppersmith about that (and on
desktop-discuss mailing list, as well).
After that OpenSolaris will be best platform for any user.
Regards,
Uros Nedic
