This is just a reminder to us all that when we evangelize opensolaris, we need to emphasize what makes opensolaris special. But an important thing to remember is to never criticize Linux in an attempt to push opensolaris. I had to listen to a marketing person in the US criticizing Linux when he was explaining to me how to sell Solaris to my management (He was preaching to the converts, really) and I was disappointed then that he didn't mention a single good point about Solaris itself. Lots of people are likely to just criticize the CDDL decision, declare that this is "yet another gnome desktop trying to compete with KDE" etc without really bothering to find out the multitude of underlying features that set Solaris apart and which Linux, etc just cannot catch up with. Actually, I think the onus is also on Sun to highlight opensolaris differentiators since they want to market opensolaris 2008.5 as a commercially supported download. -- Sriram http://dynamicproxy.livejournal.com/
