In most cases the software can be expected to work on OpenSolaris, but I'm sure all of our support statements and so on haven't caught up yet; we're working on that issue, it will take a bit of time to get it aligned. With respect to a next Solaris release, I'll refer you to the roadmap slides we presented some time ago, as they are the most definitive statement we're making at this time: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/ogb/OpenSolarisCommunityMeeting.pdf Dave
