A whole load of bundled utilities and applications.

Multiple desktops in action. Windows can be dragged between workspaces, and windows can also be sent to other workspaces through the right-click menu for said window.

Conclusion: Solaris 11 brings the look and feel of Linux to the workplace set-up by Solaris. Most of the little issues I noticed while looking at Solaris 10 were fixed. Great operating system, I would not hesitate to upgrade. One thing to worry about is that Solaris 11 is 64-bit only, however. |
