A couple weeks back we released Bordeaux 2.0.0 for Solaris and OpenSolaris and I posted the news about the release in the OpenSolaris forums. Ian ask if I could check and see if VLC ran in Bordeaux, the Windows client. And sure enough it runs extremely well with just a couple dll overrides

The screenshot below is VLC 1.0.3 running on OpenSolaris 2010.3 build 131 via Bordeaux 2.0.0 for OpenSolaris. The video is the live 200 kbs feed of CNBC in RealVideo format.

The system load is kind of high because I have OpenSolaris running in Virtual Box. If you have OpenSolaris installed as your primary operating system or on a partition the load is much lower. Also QuickTime Player 7.1.6, WMP 9, foobar2000 version 1.0, eMule 0.49c and FireFox 3.5.5 we installed. See the full post for more info and screenshots.
