What Sun's OpenSolaris Means For Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| That doesn't mean everyone now running Linux is going to flee the comforts of
| their Dell Ubuntu desktops (or their servers) and embrace a Sun box. It does
| mean, though, that Solaris ought to become as important and disciplined a
| force in the open-source community as folks like Red Hat and SuSE have been—
| and, arguably, even more so.

Despite this announcement, the anti-Linux propaganda people already
yell "fragmentation" and "yet another alliance". Surely they haven't enquired
or spoken to LiMo. They just spread FUD. In the NYT, readers are furious and
some unsubscribe because the paper spread clueless anti-Google and anti-open
source FUD. Utter lies. Amazing considering the fact that it's NYT, so maybe
Microsoft is already pulling strings. Nervousness.
