it was one of Mr. Ellison's quotes from a recent interview, gave me the outlook of a "science project " quote: "It's picking the Sun technologies that are commercializable and focusing on those, and ignoring those that are not. They are just science projects," said Ellison http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE64B5YX20100513 And that quote from Mr. Ellison is what made me say this: I think Oracle is going to keep it simple; Solaris is for the enterprise and Opensolaris is a science project. And since oracle is doing so well selling solaris and other software to the enterprise, why release new opensolaris now? when business is booming, I think they will release it when they see fit. their main objective is bringing in revenue and justifying the money they payed for SUN and they are doing well at that. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
