Yeah.. and if the customer wants to run Solaris 11 on any IaaS Cloud service, say on Rackspace cloud, or on Amazon EC2, they can't do it, because Solaris support contracts are required, and they're priced per *physical* sockets/servers! So it's impossible to use Solaris elsewhere than on Oracle hw/sw. That's not how things should be in 2011. Oracle should be selling support contracts per instance as well.. (for VM/cloud use). -- Pasi _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
