I appreciate the time you guys take to answer here. That said, it leaves me 
thinking, that Oracle/sun will only appeal to big accounts then. I'm all for 
paid support and all, however, the trend I see is (at least in Montreal metro.) 
SMB and not so small companies are looking into X86, X64 solutions! By not 
having enterprise support for Opensolaris, it kills any business case in its 
favor. Personally, I have no problem reverting back to Solaris and hope it 
evolves (often) with all the goodies you put in Opensolaris.

Off Topic: I just completed a proof of concept for a customer where they wanted 
everything OpenSource and free and Linux ... My toolbox was Opensolaris (so 
that I'll know if it is going to work), so I started configuring everything, 
documented it and then I built the Ubuntu server 9.10, in brief it took me 
twice as long under linux than on opensolaris, and I'm computer literate, in 
the end, the customer was happy with the 100 pages document under Linux. The 
main reason for this customer to pick Ubuntu was the hardware supported by HP, 
and the popularity and help he can pick off the Internet! Everyone has to earn 
a living.
