SUN Microsystems We had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Sun's COO, Jonathan Schwartz, yesterday. We talked about a variety of things, including Java, Solaris, Red Hat and good ol' Unix.

Re: solaris will exceed OSX

1. superior technology -

your opinion. I am sure thats questionable considering the mach/bsd base of OS X now



2. backed by a comapny that knows how to make decisive decisions (ie moving onto x86)
----

what?. Like moving off and on from X86 3 times?. apple cannot do that. its a hardware company using OS X as a means to sell hardware. it will lose an integration benefits if it did that

3. the solaris brand has a greater repuation which can only do solaris credit
-----

come on. Macs have a much much better brand value

4. the open sourcing of certain components will create interest from developers

----

considering that the whole of OS X is a bsd base and apple has been doing more than press releases about a open source version I doubt this is a significant advantage.
