Well duh..! As a community project one of the measures of success is definitely
community participation and how big it is.
If you need reasons - better x86{_64} support, lots of drivers (as a testament
- I have till now failed to install Solaris on any of my 8 x86/64 machines -
Linux runs just fine there and recognizes most hardware thrown at it), quicker
resolution of people's problems and addition of new features/improvements
(suspend/resume anyone?), new architecture support - lots of reasons why
OpenSolaris needs larger community. No? You think what was not possible in last
year without community participation will be possible going forward without
community? Do you think Sun engineers are going to spend their time fixing Joe
Random's problems?
