The announced date of 2011 will be 6 years after Solaris 10 FCS in 2005, and a number of projects were in development before Solaris 10 FCS shipped, but integrated after. It also doesn't say all those people were working at Sun/Oracle when they spent those hours. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
