Solaris is open source, and gaining huge share (to my friends in the analyst community: you should stop saying the x64 market is characterized as a Windows and Linux market – when it’s obvious there’s a growing Solaris market on x64 systems)
I have been trying to get my hands on the latest Solaris build. Tried to run the old build on my MacBook Pro (under Parallels Desktop) but just could not make it work! I know that the forum is there to help out but I wish I had direct access to the guys who really use Solaris on MacBook Pro (the same way I can rely on the Sun Java Evangelists when I need my Java compass checked!). I will see if the new release of Nexenta OS will install. Stay tuned.
Back to Sun’s head honcho’s blog entry, this is really great news! Now, if only Sun Philippines will provide better packages for education, then maybe we will have stronger Solaris presence in the country. In UP alone, we, at the Java Research & Development Center, wish that we can get our students to use Solaris on Sun hardware but the cost is a bit too much for them (or for our aging equipment in the center)… I wish that Jonathan notices this (trackback, get to work! eheheh) and decides to upgrade our equipment for free – for the love of Java and for JEDI, too!
