How does GNOME 2.0 benefit independent software vendors?
By providing GNOME for the Solaris Operating Environment, Sun can deliver thousands of new users to the GNOME community, enabling developers to tap into a larger customer base, thus increasing business opportunities and application reach. GNOME’s network architectural base helps drive innovation in new application markets that require distributed network software. Since GNOME software scales across systems ranging from embedded devices through clusters running Solaris software, developers have the flexibility to choose the target device for their application without having to change their development model.
