Do you think IBM would not immediately discontinue SPARC and so many other then-redundant things (such as Netbeand, MySQL etc etc) in case of a takeover? Is OpenSPARC.net not an "overwhelming" offering? Do you believe IBM would invest the resources necessary to port OpenSolaris to power (in a proper manner, with usable results)? Unlikely. Instead the would cut the pearls out of OpenSolaris and for better or worse put them into AIX and LinUX. >From the way in which you argue you could also state "LinUX is overwhelming". It sure is and many think so. But we are on a Sun-OpenSolaris list here. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
