Beware: given the recent behavior (and according to some, plenty of history of similar behavior), I wouldn't take it for granted that the prior quote offers any assurance of availability of Solaris 11 Express to anyone _other_than_ "enterprise users", i.e. big spenders. I hope I'm wrong. But if Oracle doesn't even follow through on what they'd said they'd do (at least one more release of the OpenSolaris distro), then I would certainly not wish to read anything more into what they say than the _least_ that it could mean. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
