I'm sure Oracle would have a plan to backport crossbow from Opensolaris to Solaris to use in an enterprise environment in conjunction with zones but it's not obvious they had a better plan than in the past. Some big businesses will realize they can gain so much more from the combination of zones and crossbow per hardware resources than using heavy weight VM's that it will remain one of Oracles disadvantages for not capitializing on it now. ---Bob -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
