Any chance you're planning for a "desktop" version of SmartOS?

We're not -- but that's not to say we wouldn't encourage it! Bluntly, for us it's a driver issue: things like WiFi NICs are infamously varied and buggy, and we have our hands full (just) supporting modern server hardware. But don't let that stop you!
