Hi all,
Several weeks (months?) ago Sun had some sort of online deal where
they would ship free S10 and Sun Studio 11 CDs out for free. A few
weeks ago a friend of mine was complaining about not receiving them,
and just now another friend of mine is mentioning not receiving them.
Is there any known reason for this?
From my second friend's confirmation email:
-------------------------
We have received your request for a free Solaris 10 and Sun Studio 11 DVD
Media kit. Assuming that the mailing address you've provided is valid and
resides in a country in which it is legal for Sun to ship media, you should
expect for your kit to arrive within 10 business days.

His shipping address was in the same email, and is in the USA and
correct. This "order" was placed, roughly, in mid-January.
I'm all for this sort of marketing to help garner interest in
OpenSolaris. One of the aforementioned friends was reluctant to spend
his time downloading SXCR (which I pushed) but this got him going.
His not having it by now has all but killed his interest. Whats going
on?
Sadly, the second friend was also involved with Windows Vista, which
also promised to send him CDs. They were late due to supply reasons,
but they did at least email him every few weeks to tell him so.
I have several friends who are in the same position wrt Solaris 10
media. One of them ordered well before Christmas, too.
