I understand previous versions of every piece of software Oracle sells have Sunset pages, yes. If you read the page I sent you, it clearly states that every release of Opensolaris gets 5 years of support from GA. That doesn't mean they aren't releasing another version. That doesn't mean they're ending the opensolaris project. That doesn't mean they are no longer selling support for it. Had you actually read the link I posted, you'd have figured that out. Sun provides contractual support on the OpenSolaris OS for up to five years from the product's first General Availability (GA) date as described<http://www.sun.com/service/eosl/eosl_opensolaris.html>. OpenSolaris Package Updates are released approximately every 6 months. OpenSolaris Subscriptions entitle customers during the term of the Customer's Subscription contract to receive support on their current version of OpenSolaris, as well as receive individual Package Updates and OpenSolaris Support Repository Package Updates when made commercially available by Sun. Sun may require a Customer to download and install Package Updates or OpenSolaris OS Updates that have been released since Customer's previous installation of OpenSolaris, particularly when fixes have already been > Have you spent enough (any) time > trying to renew your contracts only to see that all mentions of > OpenSolaris have been deleted from the support pages over the last few > days? Can you tell me which Oracle rep you've spoken to who confirmed the cancellation of Opensolaris? It's funny, nobody I've talked to seems to have any idea what you're talking about. So please, a name would be wonderful so I can direct my inquiry to this as-of-yet unnamed source. > This, specifically, is what has been yanked out from under me > and my company.

It says right here those contracts are for both solaris AND opensolaris. http://www.sun.com/service/subscriptions/index.jsp Click Sun System Service Plans<http://www.sun.com/service/serviceplans/sunspectrum/index.jsp> : http://www.sun.com/service/serviceplans/sunspectrum/index.jsp Sun System Service Plans for Solaris Sun System Service Plans for the Solaris Operating System provide integrated hardware and* Solaris OS (or OpenSolaris OS)* support service coverage to help keep your systems running smoothly.
