Which,unfortunately, will probably not get you much. I've worked with dozens of salesmen from Sun at various different clients of all sizes (my current company is one of Sun's Top 10 clients), and I'm basically convinced that Sun doesn't have a roadmap that stretches longer than 6 months, and even those are pretty flexible. I've found it is often fairly easy to get information about currently active projects but almost impossible to get any kind of idea of when they will actually be complete and ship. For example, I've known about the recently announced Boston and Seattle boxes for probably better than a year. Up until the day before the announcement that Serrano had been cancelled (which supposedly was months before), we were still being told that Serrano would just be late. It was during early 2Q that we were told they'd be released late 3Q/early 4Q; during 1Q, we were told 2nd half of the year, prior to that (4Q05), we were told "sometime next year". As the Solaris product manager for my company, I've asked for a roadmap of when the updates will be released, and again, I've been given some fairly specific details of what they expect to be in each release, but until someone here mentioned that U3 was named 11/06, I still had no idea of the release date. That's one of the things I love about being involved with OpenSolaris; I get more information here than I can get through my account team. -spp This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
