I say be happy for a few reasons :
(1) OpenSolaris is on radar. If it wasn't then you can be unhappy.
(2) Various IDC business reports say that Solaris x86 barely has
a pulse in the business market. At least this is what a reporter
was telling me. I have to check my facts. Well, his facts. In
any case I suspect that both the IDC and that reporter are dead
wrong or the Novell people would never care.
(3) If someone is slinging FUD at you then its probably because
they need you to slow down. Or drop dead.
