Some
day they'll have to make a solaris 12, you
know. But they're
diverting
development away from opensolaris right now,
to make *damn* sure they
release solaris 11 this year.
My calender still says 2010, not 2011, or did
you
miss that part of the
webcast?
Not sure what you're talking about. I never
suggested solaris 11 would be delayed into 2011.
John Fowler clearly stated during the webcast that
Solaris
11 was scheduled
to ship in 2011. This was repeated in all the
articles I've seen, including
some you mentioned in your other
posts. You are the only one imagining a
2010 ship date for it. Even the 140
character summary from Oracle marketing
was clear about that:

Major chalkboard points noted:
1. Dropping AMD servers for Intel-based servers.
2. Upscaling SPARC server roadmap to 128 cores and
64TB of memory by Y2015.
3. Solaris 11 will ship next year - Y2011.
Most likely the 2nd half of 2011. With any luck you will be able to download
and use it for free as well, although admittedly it will most likely demand
some sort of payment to Oracle to use it in a production environment. But then,
that never did Windows any harm did it?
You may now begin the flaming! ;-)
Cheers
Andrew.
I expect Oracle to give us more info during OpenWorld. I am expecting
more to come regarding OpenSolaris, I don't think they will call it
OpenSolaris. No! I don't have any inside knowledge, just thinking out loud.
Regards,
Paul
