Windows is far far advanced in its development and won't probably even get a new idea, and linux is close behind... what's the point? As far as I know, the Solaris Kernel doesn’t have much to offer.

I like Linux. But these are things that even Linux has difficulties with still. If Solaris thinks that they are going to break out of their server niche anytime soon, they have finally gone mad. It is interesting to see one of the original Internet-ready companies not get it anymore. smp And if I install Solaris 10 on my laptop, it will play music, give me a pretty GUI, burn CDs, play DVDs, and handle my wireless network card with ABSOLUTELY no problems…right?

There's nothing remarkable about Solaris, unless you're running it on big iron (ie partitioning and that). At that point, Open Source don't mean squat. Open Sourcing Solaris seems more like jumping the shark than a savvy product development decision. This is the same company that tried to get rid of their x86 version a couple of years ago. Looking back, I made the following comment in Dec 2002: Sun Microsystems. Are they going down the hole? No. But, out of all the proprietary UNIXes out there, I think Solaris has the most likelihood of losing market share to Linux. They're quite similar. SUN hardware is expensive (not that HP and IBM hardware isn't). Sean's prediction? There's going to be a big shakeup at Sun sometime in 2003. http://ertw.com/~sean/news/Dec-19-2002.html Who am I to say, though? I still like to think that any open source is good. Prove the two of us wrong, SUN, and make OpenSolaris a success. Sean Dunno, Jer. I’m with you.
