[Screenshots] OpenSolaris Build 75 Ships GNOME 2.20, xVM

,----[ Quote ]
| The xVM platform is supported on x86 and x64 systems and supports 
| para-virtualized Solaris, Live Migration, and other features.

Still no GPL, which makes OpenSolaris uncompetitive and unattractive to some
developers.

Sun's 'Project Copy Linux' not a Linux copy

,----[ Quote ]
| Murdock also refused to talk about Sun's FISHworks project – billed as a 
| NetApp killer. 
| 
| Sun has put some of its top Solaris engineers in charge of a 
| software/hardware effort meant to create a solid network attached storage 
| (NAS) appliance. The company demoed this project to analysts early this year, 
| although it refuses to give reporters the same honor.   
| 
| We did track down Adam Levanthal, one of the FISHworks leads and co-authors 
| of DTrace, at OSCON. He revealed that the product should ship early next year 
| and that it includes some special sauce above Solaris for handling storage.  
| 
| "I'm not going to talk to you about it more than that," he said, rather 
| bluntly. 
| 
| Why not just slap us in the face?
