 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.
