Depending on what you are doing, the characterizations of Solaris_86 as
"Slowaris", or more particularly, "slOLDwaris", have a lot of truth and
definitely do not fit into the definition of FUD, because they
originated from Solaris-SPARC users.
The combination of Athlon64/Opteron and Solaris_86 10 completely changed
all that. If anything, Sun did a very poor job of getting this message
spread.
One of the most exciting aspects of OpenSolaris is that, if you have
been following Sun's Blogs, many Sun's developers are triple-booting
their Ferrari notebooks with WinXP, Solaris, and Ubuntu. Ubuntu is the
hippest Linux distro; it makes most other Linux distros, including even
the most trendy Fedora Core, look like your grandpa's OS.
Imagining if the number of these developers can quickly reach a critical
mass and unleash a special strain of OpenSolaris that will eliminate the
need for the other two OS's? Can hardly wait for this to happen!
