An operating system that is 14-months-old is a relic and as good as dead. Look at my other post showing release dates of other operating systems and only OpenSolaris has had no releases.
Oracle specifically said in an article they would not include some technologies in OpenSolaris they develop for Solaris 10. This indicates an R&D budget for Solaris 10, so I'd question the need for R&D on OpenSolaris, when some of the OpenSolaris technologies aren't included in Solaris 10 (e.g., Crossbow). Solaris 10 makes money, so R&D makes sense, but to spend capital on OpenSolaris doesn't strike me as something Ellison is willing to do. Of course there will be some who say OpenSolaris is dev for Solaris 10. Really; then I'd like to have an explanation about why Oracle explicitly states they are doing R&D on Solaris 10 (preceding paragraph), when that should be done in OpenSolaris. Isn't OpenSolaris dev for Solaris 10? Seems a waste of money to do development on both. Waiting for the next OpenSolaris release is like waiting for your ex-wife to come back. It isn't going to happen, and even if it does, what about the future, and will she stay? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
