A valid point (among other valid points in your message). However, from what I can tell Solaris has been an available platform for Websense since their very early releases, and I imagine there are quite a few large corporate types (especially in financial services, government, and other "conservative" industries) that are large Sun shops. These are also the kinds of environments where "Big Brother" applications like Websense would seem to be the most common.
As near I can tell, Linux and Solaris are equal-class citizens to Websense, so I'd be equally interested in hearing of anyone implementing it on the Sun platform. It may be that *everyone* who's ever implemented Websense has done it on Windows, but as I said I can't believe they would continue to expend the engineering resources to maintain feature parity on UNIX platforms if there wasn't a market for it.
