After just over a year as chief executive, Jonathan Schwartz is moving into a new phase as the leader of Sun Microsystems. Much of his opening months was spent emerging from the shadow of the highly visible Scott McNealy, boosted by Schwartz's high-profile blog. Now that the introductory period is over, Schwartz is working to show that the Silicon Valley stalwart can regain its former stature.

Yes, but at the same time, look at their arc process; rather than simply merging in code, and working out the issues later; its actually tested; making sure that the code is up to the coding standards set by the OpenSolaris community. If it means that some impatient submitters don't come on board, then so be it, its a small price to pay to maintain code quality.
Oh, and in reply to the, quite frankly, bullcrap spread by Butters, Sun *DOES NOT CONTROL* OpenSolaris - they are but a couple of players on the OpenSolaris board; OpenSolaris is now overwhelmingly controlled by the community *NOT* Sun.
This is more anti-Sun rhetoric from IBM and IBM employees; they've now got nothing to whine about now; Java is being opensourced, Solaris is being opensourced and ported to PowerPC and x86 support is improving.
IBM would like you to think that Sun is dying, that SPARC is dying, that Sun isn't committed to Solaris or x86. As rapper said "don't believe the hype" - this is the case with IBM. Don't believe the hype, look at the facts.
