I hope so, according to this article it says: "Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows -- dominating the commercial operating system market. Proprietary Unix is on the downswing, with many Unix systems (AIX, HP-UX and Solaris)" http://searchdatacenter.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid80_gci1508622,00.html I think this downswing of solaris may have a negative impact on opensolaris on the long run. if solaris becomes irrelevant like it slowing is, so will opensolaris. oracle should really thank this matter into consideration if not and find a way to reverse this downswing or we will all be forced to use at work either redhat linux or ms windows in couple years. I'm sorry, if i'm sounding arrogant or a snob, those are not my intentions, i'm really concern about the future of both opensolaris and solaris in a world that is moving away -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
