uphus13 writes to tell us of Sun's latest attempt to drive OpenSolaris adoption. The company has inked a deal to pre-install OpenSolaris on Toshiba laptops. "Slowly
but surely, major laptop vendors are taking to the idea of shipping
systems with pre-loaded open source operating systems. The latest case
in point is Toshiba — one of the longest-standing players in the market
for portable computers — and its new plan to pre-install Sun
Microsystems' OpenSolaris on its laptops. The machines are supposed to
ship in early 2009."
