I can't believe you're seriously asking this question, but... because  
Linux users are the easiest group to attract to Solaris.    The  
conceptual gulf between Solaris & Windows is huge, between Solaris  
and OS X is pretty big, between Linux and Solaris is we have a nearly- 
identical world-view, a better kernel, and a weaker userland.  So  
let's fix up the bloody userland already.  Why is this hard to  
understand?  -Tim
