Everyone knows that Unix lost ground. The thing is, there have never been a compelling reason to switch to Solaris, except technological. Oracle will now try to make all their customers switch to Solaris. I dont see why Solaris will diminish then. There is a huge potential market. Of course, if Oracle's customers will still prefer Linux efter Oracle has been pushing Solaris, then Solaris has a problem. But Oracle will make Solaris the better alternative, with new killer functionality. And there will also be business reasons to switch to Solaris, not only technological reasons. The new killer functionality (probably involving DTrace) and the business reasons to switch - will make the customers switch, I think. If that does not succeed, then Solaris has a problem. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
