This is amazing on *several* levels:

1--We're on the radar ...but why? That's what's so amazing.
2--Ron H. is mistaken--he thinks OpenSolaris is a linux-based community...another amazing thing--he didn't even LOOK at the community, before he proclaimed it a "fork"


So what Mr Hovsepian is really saying is that he wishes Solaris was still closed source so he could claim supporiority over Solaris. Because all he had was that Solaris was closed and Suse was open. But now OpenSolaris is actually more open than Suse at this point. Novell can only make money off of Suse in the area of support and services, but Sun has that, hardware, and other Software to profit off of with OpenSolaris. And all of this isn't dependant upon outside interests. So it is no wonder they see Sun as a big threat to them.
