Well, I'm still running critical services on Solaris 10 everyday and will be running them for the foreseeable future. Granted it's on an airtight network, but still, every time I see CDE, I'm brought back 15 years ago.

I wish we could migrate to something more modern, but vendor lock-in is strong in certain instances, let alone in the embedded space.

I understand being stuck on Solaris 10, but if you don't like CDE you could theoretically install something else; didn't it even officially ship with GNOME 2 out of the box?

(This is slightly funny to me, too, because I sometimes run CDE on my shiny new Linux boxes out of a combination of nostalgia and dislike for the endless change of new things. As you say, I can install the latest CDE release, fire it up, and return to 15 years ago, if not more. Windows 11? Never heard of it. GNOME? Well Sun brands it the "Java Desktop", but whatever. CDE is the same as last time I saw it, and it will be the next time I see it. It's clunky, but that's a small price to pay for a quiet corner of the world frozen in time.)

Solaris 10 with zones was amazing, I miss it.
