Who knows? Having an OS, where one can twiddle any knobs at wish and doesn't depend on the goodwill of others/Linus sponsoring is certainly a big advantage. However, AFAIUI (1) Xen development basically happens on Linux, (2) the only thing one may rely on wrt. Oracle presentations/website is Solaris+SPARC and ZFS, (3) Oracle has had almost a year, but it still keeps a low profile wrt. x86+Solaris. So for me it currently looks like, we are going back wrt. SW development/availability to a state, we had about 10 years ago ... But we'll see - sometimes wonder happen ;-) Regards, jel. -- Otto-von-Guericke University http://www.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/ Department of Computer Science Geb. 29 R 027, Universitaetsplatz 2 39106 Magdeburg, Germany Tel: +49 391 67 12768 _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
