Default Zimbra for Solaris!!

I too would love to cast my vote for a Solaris port on Zimbra. Part of the problem is that most users of Solaris end up being enterprise - thus being pushed to enterprise software that has support and what's common name. If it's not available to purchase for the platform, you're not going to get as many solaris admins to ask to port the software, but you will get many linux users who spend lots of time at home on their boxes and want a collaboration suite to ask. Once it's available people will use it with a little word of mouth or publication. Trust me - if there's a stable option to move away from exchange and place something on a solaris box, it will happen. Why not be the first? After all, it was said that the developers know Solaris! The new x64 AMD boxes from Sun are awesome and the fact that you can't run this on solaris will actually be a negative. Nothing against Linux - I like using it too, but my boss isn't going to approve us putting an enterprise mail server on a linux box in our company. We're just too big!
