Exactly. And that's the trap he wants us to walk into.
The fact that he's wrong about the other stuff is not relevant. He's
baiting us, so if people respond please respond carefully and
positively. Since we launched, OpenSolaris has largely been treated well
by other communities, and for the most part it's been ignored by Sun's
competitors. I'd argue that those are both good things. We are earning
our way based on substance, not spin. Now, we are also starting to put
up some good numbers out there, and people are noticing, so it's natural
that competitors will take shots from to time. Perhaps Novell has
noticed us, I don't know. We have a good story to tell in the effort to
engage new developers. To me, that story sounds much better told positively.
