Given the fact that Sun did rename "Indiana" to "Opensolaris" against the will
of the community and given the fact that Sun did kill Solaris SXCE in January,
I see no "product" Solaris anymore that could be put on the market.
Indiana is a product that has been taylored to the Linux users that do not
loike to change from Linux to Solaris, therefore Indiana is a product for no
users.
Solaris SXCE was a product based on the philosophy and merits of UNIX and this
is why paying customers did select Sun hardware for their enterprise. Solaris 10
still exists but it is apparently a dead end. If Oracle likes to keep the Sun
based business profitable, Oracle needs to correct wrong decisions from the
past.
