Personal opinion : marketing is highly overrated (by marketers of course...). OpenIndiana and Solaris 11 will succeed/fail because of their technical abilities, no pretty name will change that.
I believe a more useful job for marketers would be to better advertise these technical advantages like the fair share scheduler, crossbow, zones, zfs etc. On 21 Jun 2011, at 01:53, Blake wrote: > Does anyone besides me feel that we need a more unified naming/branding > approach for the community-driven descendants of OpenSolaris?
