Anyone can use these systems.

The Solaris operating system is available for free from the Sun website and is available on multiple computer platforms. If Linux is more your bag, that system is also available for free from a variety of vendors and websites.

Most people who choose to use these systems are interested in computers or are vocationally required to deal with computers. That is to say that most business and casual applications are written for windows and more people are familiar with windows.
