Jim,
...
But unfortunately the situation has become so bad now that Sun would need
to agressivly approach the people in the univsersities who are responsible
for the computer pools to make Solaris be present again in the universities.
We are making progress. I see the guys in China have been busy lately
with respect to OpenSolaris in universities:

Joey has lots of pics and info about what's going on. Glenn and Teresa
were there recently, too. When I move to Japan, I hope to get closely
involved with community building at universities throughout Asia.
I agree, Sun is pretty straight forward in China and some other areas in
Asia as I could see myself in Beijing. Attending the same conference as
Teresa and Glenn I had later on the honor of giving presentations at one
of the local Universities and those people are REALLY interested in
learning about new things. I belive OpenSolaris is developing a strong
community there which is good. On the other side I cannot really get rid
of the impression that Sun gave up on Europe at least. Don't know about US
but that's just how it appears to me. I hope Sun management uses Chinas
momentum to get back into the 'old' markets too.
