the sun strategy du jour

OpenSolaris will be here for a year or two. And then Sun will realize no one cares about Solaris. Or expensive commodity hardware.

You cannot take Solaris and do what you (or your company) wants to do with. For money.

I would not be surprised if Sun is not "the second coming of SCO" in 5-10 years claiming everyone copied the precious code of Solaris. The maniacal Microsoft stooge that runs Sun would be even more entertaining than Darl McBride.
