BTW Steve, as a person to person, this little snippet really got to me. For 15 years I've lived on Sun and Solaris, "ate, breathed, dreamt and drank it", one might put it so, and everything was OK. I bled in the trenches between the big iron E10Ks and small U5s running Solaris day and night, and we were Sun's community -- Solaris community. Now all of a sudden associating Solaris -- most notably OpenSolaris -- is not what we want, now it's bad, in the way, out of favor, not in fashion, and all because we are trying to get more visibility and lure the Linux crowd over to develop software on and for Solaris. That's great, I'm all for it, but what's with those of us that still remember what Solaris *was* and what OpenSolaris *is* today? I guess we're not "fashionable" any more. I mean, Solaris vs. OpenSolaris is starting to sound like a crusade. Now the fashion has changed, so some things are on the "forbidden list". Great. Well, that really got to me. Thanks Steve.
