Dropping OpenSolaris on the IBM mainframe was logical, because there would
never be any market. However, to me, this clearly illustrates Oracle's intent
to push Solaris on SPARC only, in the same way that IBM has AIX on POWER only.

I didn't say there weren't significant changes since 2.0 and the release of

after 1994 when he says Sun bought the SVR4 codebase. That is not an accurate

The way he states it in his article is that Sun made significant changes after
