Mr. Carlson, in case you didn't know, WE are the people and the community does have the means to influence Executive's decisions. Maybe you recall how Sun considered killing off Solaris-x86 when Solaris 9 was indroduced in 2002? A community website was put into place and many enthusiasts (including myself) signed an open letter to Sun's board. Also full-page Newspaper Ad's had been purchased, journalists had been made aware of it, etc. For more info: http://www.save-solaris.org/board.html The community does have an influence, and not even the smallest one. All we must do is UNITE and contact the "right" news channels. Even if you underestimate it, those flames are precisely what most leaders fear like nothing else, independently from whether it is in politics or markets. If you decide that you don't want to participate, why don't you simply ignore this thread? If you really want to extinguish this fire, why are you throwing gasoline into it? Also, why do you say this thread is being written by people "who cannot know anything worthwhile per definition"? The www is quite huge, and there is always the chance that somebody finds something, which others weren't aware of, and which they might even find interesting. But I for my part will indeed stop writing to this, until any deal gets confirmed AND Contra-MEASURES NEED TO BE TAKEN. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
