Hello all:
As of late, I have begun to notice increasing levels of pessimism and grumbling amongst users (and former users) of OpenSolaris. As a glasses half-full type, I would like to remind everyone that whining and complaining about petty issues such as a delayed release for OpenSolaris and the "OpenSolaris is doomed because of Linux and BSD" mantra is not going to help the situation. I am a very strong proponent of this project and I will do whatever is necessary to keep OpenSolaris in the running, even with the seemingly dire straits that we are supposedly in under Oracle.

I agree 100% with you Matt. I have seen nothing negative about
Opensolaris from Oracle. So far they are actively pushing Solaris 10

in Workstations and Desktops, I don't think they want to abandon that,
so I believe (my speculation), they will offer Opensolaris as their
Desktop/Workstation product. I am all for Opensolaris.
