Re: [osol-discuss] Re: where to start?

The last thing our ISVs want is a new interface to write to while they're still qualifying the current one. Ditto for our big corporate customers. Remember, this is commercial Solaris we're talking about - not OpenSolaris.  That means two things: 1) We can and will innovate in OpenSolaris 2) If you're right that the demand for a new interface is out there,     anyone can create a new distro based on OpenSolaris and     provide it to anyone who wants it. In addition, I'm sure our innovative community will come up with ways to layer a new desktop on top of Solaris 10 for those who are interested.     Regards,     Glenn Matthew Gardiner wrote: On Sunday 21 May 2006 21:41, Joerg Schilling wrote: Glenn Weinberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Our big customers are just starting to deploy Solaris 10.

I have been telling customers the next release, whatever it's called, will happen some time between 2008 and 2010. Hi Glenn, does this mean that you vote for deferring the Solaris 11 release date from October 2007 to 2008? Jörg So in otherwords, Solaris 10 will be stuck with a majorly out of date desktop until 2010 - spended, I'm sure the ISV's are just have multiple orgasms knowing they're relying on out of date infrastructure.
