I can almost see dumping 32-bit x86. but dumping 64-bit US-III/IV? Clearly, Oracle is going to use this as a stick to force customers to upgrade to new hardware, or away from Solaris/Oracle completely while they overcharge for "legacy Solaris 10 support". Good business strategy. :-p Lines from "Other People's Money" keep rolling through my mind.... _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
