I would if I were them, wouldn't you? Linux has already eroded the low-end of the Solaris business model, if Linux had ZFS it could possibly erode out the middle tier as well. Solaris with only high-end customers wouldn't be very profitable (unless seriously marked up in price), thus unsustainable as a business. Sun didn't get this, but Oracle does. -Ross _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
