I am greatful you bring up this point.There are so many reasons that
opensolaris cannot return to the past and be only a server OS.I would like to
think as opensoource developes free operating systems are NOT immune to
customer needs wants and trends.Clearly the dominence of Solaris 10 has been
effected by a dip in the enterprise hardware sales.Large scale infrastructure
as we know it from the past is forcast to give way to smaller more nible
infrastucture.The growing customer view is to push more usability to mobile
devices and desktop.Customers have seen the power of the user interphase in
widing the appeal of other os and ultimately if money is to flow in it will be
as a result of mixed enterprise/desktop applications.I can see
opensolaris/sun/oracle meeting their goals by completeing the tripple play.This
is interoperablity from server to mobile device to support the vision of many
large world organisations.The importance of convergence with telco (see Nokia
booklet)is to
fit the last peice of the jigsaw together making a killer customer product.
In short do or death?
