I have begiu to love the word "polymorphism".  With Steven Hahn now gone, and 
ditto most of Sun's Beijing team members who were primarily responsible for the 
desktop portion of Solaris/OpenSolaris, it is probably very naive to insist 
that OpenSolaris, as in the "OpenSolaris liveCD", is not already dead, or at 
least in an indefinite sleep state.

(For those of us who are using OpenSolaris laptops, the experiences abound that 
a sleeping OpenSolaris laptop may never wake up.)  :-(

However, when the word OpenSolaris is used as in the context of the 
"OpenSolaris project", then it is definitely alive and kicking.  In many 
aspects, more vivid than ever.  Among many other things, no doubt we are seeing 
substantially increased interests in Milax, and more particularly, the 
NexantaOS.  Keep in mind that the Solaris proper (Solaris 10u8) is also part of 
the OpenSolaris project.
