I don't care enough about USB 3.0 - servers don't need it, and I boot my servers from the network via PXE and DHCP anyway.

intel video - couldn't care less either - I just buy Nvidia, download their SVR4 Solaris package and am up and running in seconds. It JustWorks(SM), so I always buy Nvidia - go sgi engineers.

After a certain level of driver support, more drivers are nice, but they have diminishing returns in the number of people impacted by them. It is quite understandable that it does not matter to you. My point in that having those drivers released as OSS for integration into Illumos would be nice still stands though. :)
