I migrated my workstation (an Ultra 20) from OpenSolaris 2009.06 to
snv_134 and from there to OpenIndiana a couple of days after launch -
while I depend on my laptop out in the field, my workstation is
*essential* to my biz - more so than the truckloads of servers.

I thrash the machine very badly indeed - 3 or 4 VMs, currently running 4
monitors off 2 FX5300 cards, shedloads of stuff going on.

OpenIndiana has been rock solid in that role for me. Especially if
snv_134 has been good for you, I can really recommend giving it a go.

Cheers,
TOM
