- nailer 17y ago10 years ago Solaris' niche was being the standard OS at financial services companies. These days, that standard is Linux, generally Red Hat - nobody's buying SPARC anymore and Solaris on Intel runs very few apps. The largest hedge fund, the top tier investment banks, and the top retail banks have all abandoned Solaris. The only new purchases from Sun are support contracts on ancient kit that's still waiting to be replaced.
