If it were a company of fat cats I would have a problem too, but Sun, unlike its many competitors, has instead contributed a great deal to the community without charging a cent. Progress is achieved only when a new discovery or a technology becomes available to everyone. Sun contributed to worldwide internet progress with Java. With OpenSolaris Sun hopefully will succeed where Linux have already failed big time, which is to delivery a standard, open and viable desktop alternative to Windoze. Given their current financial status, if they ask to pay for some updates, I would without complaining, if only this was sufficient to avoid Sun being broken apart and re-directed by Oracle's sharks. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
