I am 100% behind this great work and I could not agree more. If Dr. Salk and Dr. Sabin were to release the polio vaccine today then I think that people would line up and take it regardless of the name. I think that the "OpenSolaris Developer Preview" is a serious shot in the arm for the OpenSolaris Community and it cures some tragic flaws. My opinion.
