"One reason that people might choose to miss out on OpenSolaris is because we're (in general) a conservative lot and a lot of people have had bad experiences with Solaris (and, dare we say it, also with Windows and Linux) in the past. No matter how much software and UI improves, it takes ages for the community to accept this. A reputation that took years to build can be lost with one bad release - but won't be quickly reinstated with one good one. So there will always be people who resist change - and why not, if what they have now works for them. However, various people pointed us at Ubuntu and 'an OpenSolaris-based distro focused specifically on developers'. So perhaps things have improved for Solaris lately and, as I said in the original article, it's now worth another look."

None of those comments in my opinion constitute a troll, regardless of what you might think. If they were trollish, I am sure someone would have modded them down, since I have noticed in a number of articles published here that if someone doesn't like what you have to say, you are pretty much assured that you are going to get modded down.
Maybe you should reread my comments on Sun articles then. Even when I state clearly that something is my opinion people like you jump down my throat because my opinion doesn't consist of cheerleading Sun. I haven't trolled this site and will not in the future. I'm just bugged that it seems like it is only SUN fanboys that freak out every time something slightly negative is said about their OS of choice. The last SUN article I posted in I claimed that I didn't think SUN would last without a good client solution and you and others blasted me so much that it took over the entire conversation, which despite what you may believe, was not my intent at all. You're so ready to argue in favor of SUN that its almost as if you're looking for a fight that just isn't there. Give it a rest already. Solaris will still be there in the morning even if you don't criticize everyone who doesn't love what SUN has to offer.
