Hello. What? You prefer the head_into_the_sand-approach??? If +1 in that manner, then the same as response: Do you get it or don´t you???? Oracle´s DB is pretty much a monopoly. *There* they can do whatever they want, including not doing it, deferring it by 10 years or cooking honey. I shall calm down? Who is using uppercase letters here? Who is shouting?? OpenSolaris is an operating system platform. Even more so, as SPARC is a hardware platform that 99% depends on (Open)Solaris. This doesn´t even have much to do with OSS, community interaction, culture or anything. It has to do with how deciders decide. They wont invest hundreds of thousands of $$$, if not millions, into a platform they know nothing about. And I can understand that. Oracle is too naive for this little calculation? I doubt this. If you SHOUT IN CAPITAL LETTERS, that others shall ^calm down^ (this reminds me of an old joke, or was it self-irony??), Oracle is losing the UNIX market through their No-Statement__No-Roadmap__No-Assurance__No-Platform-Security policies. That is a fact. They made it happen. Not I invented that. Bit it is how it happens to be. %mab _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
