From what I understand this has nothing to do with IBM.
When they are ready, they'll pipe up. I could swear it was mentioned here already, darned search engines... :( Mark Perry wrote:
Rich this is indeed interesting, is this a one-off, or a serious project we are taking about here? IBM and Solaris ???? IBM looooovvvvveeeeesssssss JAVA. Well IBM likes to sell Hardware and Solutions, OS's it seems are just a means to an end. Websphere and associated middleware already runs on Solaris, SAP runs on Solaris. IBM/SUN Alliance: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/sun/ IBM is selling its Blades with Solaris x86 (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/09/07/sun_ibm_ebs/) Not for me to say, but looking at comments on the Internet it would seem that there are a lot of existing Solaris users who wouldn't switch to another OS even if it was free. Could IBM be eying such potential customers? Am I reading too much into this, or just too soon ;-) Mark
