Like all those engineers who disagreed with v3 while execs were out talking in the press? And all the engineers that disagree right now with the naming of OpenSolaris/Indiana as that, too, gains attention in the press? It's not accurate to say that Sun employees in this community are an extension of "Sun headquarter". > The Sun headquarter declared Solaris 9 x86 dead in January 2002.

You may not be aware that many engineers inside the company fought just as hard to get Solaris on x86 as those on the outside did. > The problem is not the friendly people inside Sun, but the decisions inside > Sun > that are made without the community.
