Sun's Open Solaris May Take Market Share From Linux
Quote:If Sun gets very serious about Solaris 10 on x86 and the Open Solaris project that it hopes will nourish it, Linux vendors had better get very worried. That's because, in the many areas where Linux is miles ahead of Solaris, Sun stands a good chance of catching up quickly if it has the will, whereas in the many areas where Solaris is miles ahead, the Linux community will be hard pressed to narrow the gap

Re: Sun's Open Solaris May Take Market Share From Linux
1/2 a year later I'm still waiting for Solaris to take market share from Linux.  November survey.

Quote:Fact 7:  Across all vendors Linux on x86 outshipped Sun's Solaris on x86 shipments by a approximately 78.9 to 1 on a worldwide unit basis.
Sun's Solaris on x86 had a 0.27% unit market share of the worldwide x86-32 and x86-64 market.

Fact 8:  A majority of Sun's x86 servers shipped with Linux, not Solaris.
IDC reported that more than two-thirds (67.6%) of x86 servers shipped by Sun (combined x86-32 and x86-64) were shipped with Linux -- not Solaris-- operating environments.

The last time I used Solaris on a server was 1998.  That experiment lasted under a month.  BangHead

I voted no to using Solaris.  You and Mandy voted yes.  Who was right from the start?  Thefinger

Sun's Open Solaris Celebrates 1st Birthday
Quote:Sun Microsystems is touting the growth of its one-year-old open source project OpenSolaris, indicating the open code effort for its formerly closed Solaris operating system has drawn thousands of developers, hundreds of contributions, and millions in revenue.

"Quite frankly, I've been pleasantly surprised," said Josh Berkus, a PostgreSQL developer who was hired by Sun earlier this year. "Usually, corporate software that gets open sourced has a tremendous failure rate. Historically, they've had a very poor record of attracting contributors and adoption."...
