I don't see a diversion here at all. Instead, I see a pretty significant expansion. From a product and market perspective, Solaris 10 is big and has a well establish customer base. From a product and market perspective OpenSolaris is tiny. It's just getting started. It was just released as a distro a few months ago. We opened a subset of the Solaris code a few years ago to start building a developer community, and now with the OpenSolaris distro we can expand that community even further to include many different types of developers and users around the world. OpenSolaris is all about innovation and development and getting to new people with rapid release cycles. It's quite literally the foundation of Solaris, which is more about long release intervals, long term support, enterprise stability, etc. So, we're not diverting. We're opening and growing.
