What a year!

| Over the last 10 months, MySQL became part of Sun and Sun
| became a part of MySQL in ways we had not really imagined.
| The "can do" startup culture that we had has started to
| make its way into other areas of Sun, just as Rich Green
| and Jonathan had hoped. The MySQL business model is making
| its way into other software groups, the focus on growth
| areas like Web 2.0 is very real.

OpenSolaris gets a Crossbow for Christmas
,----[ Quote ]
| Just before Christmas, OpenSolaris gained an implementation
| of Project Crossbow, a network virtualisation technology.
| Crossbow allows administrators to create virtual network
| adapters (VNICs), either connected to physical network
| adapters, or to what are called EtherStubs, with no
| associated physical adapter. The latter allow for creating
| virtual switches with DMZ's and firewalls to connect
| virtual network adapters together. This moves networking
| infrastructure into the domain of virtualisation.
