Except for the paragraph about bash/perl/python which may factually not represent the past of Solaris, I actually like rest of the article ! It talks about the march release, the name that the march release will carry, the entity that is driving it, who was planning to release the preview, etc. The decisions/efforts are attributed rightly without pretensions. regards Shiv
