@Herzen Well, if you scroll down and read the comments at the bottom of the article: http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/07/is-oracle-getting-ready-to-kil.html#comments You'll see a comment on July 16th where the author of the article, Chris Joesephes says: "Oracle customers migrated to Linux, and then complained to Oracle because Linux vendors could not offer the support they were used to from other operating systems. Yes, this article is pure speculation, but I'm a little surprised that nobody else noticed that it's also a parody. http://blogs.computerworld.com/is_oracle_getting_ready_to_kill_opensolaris " So yeah, Chris Josephes motive in writing it was to take a dig at SJVN. However, I still think that Ted Dziuba's profanity laced writeups on Sun and Oracle related things are the most offensive yet most entertaining of them all (feel free not to open these links if you are easily offended): http://teddziuba.com/2008/05/javafx-native-look-and-feel.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/27/dziuba_sunacle/page2.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/28/sun_dziuba_tm/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/23/dziuba_javafx_mobile/ It would be pretty funny if we could somehow stage a televised debate between SJVN and Ben Rockwood with Dziuba as the moderator. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
