The reason Sun doesn't provide Java for Linux on System z is not because of our opinion regarding Linux on mainframes, but because IBM is a licensee of Java technology, and is responsible for Java on its platforms, not Sun.
[details snipped] Thanks for the excellent clarification on the JVM situation. While not much has been shared publicly on the topic of virtualization of OpenSolaris on System z by the participants (and it could be argued as off topic), what little has been shared seems to get posted here. There are clearly some opinions about what Sun's perspectives might be. In light of the fact that you appear to have a blog at Sun, can you post to this community a clarification of Sun's perspective on the virtualization of OpenSolaris on System z? For my own curiosity, I would like to understand how such virtualization might relate to Sun's objectives to target customers for whom computing is a competitive advantage. I personally do not see virtualziation as inconsistent with that strategy, but am curious to understand Sun's perspective.
