Will OpenSolaris 2008.11 Attract Linux Users?
,----[ Quote ]
| This new set of features for OpenSolaris is definitely a step in the right
| direction. We only hope that they do not get bogged down in the cool new
| projects and neglect the main contributors to success: being more Linux-like
| in the userland. New features are great, and Time Slider is the premiere
| example of really neat advances, but no CUPS yet? No SPARC support until the
| next release? Only 1506 packages in the main repository?

| Microsoft Corp., whose Windows software dominates the personal-computer
| market, fell 6.2 percent Fridayin Nasdaq trading after sales slumped, casting
| doubt on whether PC demand can hold up in a slowing economy. The software
| maker reported a 24 percent drop in sales of Windows last quarter and
| forecast earnings that may miss analysts' estimates.
