I guess you are joking, but I'll indulge in pointing the obvious: the notorious
Sun marketing wants to track who is downloading Nevada. I guess they figure
they can get the poor IT guys to do the slaving and perform the data mining for
them. The end goal should be obvious, not all Nevada downloads are by geeks.
Some of the people downloading might actually have money, or work at places
willing to shell out money for overpriced Sun gear!
No wonder why Sun marketing is so notoriously bad. Irritating: OpenSolaris
should have NOTHING to do with Sun, especially Sun marketing. The fact that it
still does is frustrating, to say the least.
OpenSolaris != SXCE.
Exactly. More to the point SXCE != OpenSolaris.
SXCE is Nevada which is Sun Solaris, which while based on OpenSolaris is
not OpenSolaris.
Sun are free to distribute their OpenSolaris distributions anyway they
see fit. Whether they shoot them selves in the foot is their business!
That too.
