That's not new, it's been censoring letter sequences that _might_ correspond to offensive words (in one language or another) long before Oracle came into the picture. There's no lack of things to criticize. But if you want to be taken seriously, please don't drag in things that aren't new or relevant. For example: I think they actually lose money on not having low-end support. It's not as if most folks willing to pay $200/year for patch access would now be willing to pay $1000; rather, they'd move on to something else. And the added cost per user of providing low-end support (i.e. just sunsolve access) has got to be way less than $200, probably on the order of $10 or so. Profit is profit, even if it's not in chunks of a few hundred thousand at a time. And at least a few of today's low end users are either low end users at home and high end users at work, or will become future high end users at work some day if they're not alienated. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
