Interesting how this is phrased. Companies don't "join" OpenSolaris like they do with, say, Eclipse. This is one of the thngs I like about OpenSolaris. It's a community of individuals, not companies. > Many articles are still rather SUNW-sceptical, if not > hostile in many cases. > Unfortunately, sigh. Yes, but also remember that the situation has improved significantly. At least now we are getting a lot of good press as well. :) And the community is largely responsible for that.
