  • Oracle will continue to make OpenSolaris available as open source and Oracle will continue to actively support and participate in the OpenSolaris community
  • Oracle is investing more in Solaris than Sun did prior to the acquisition, and will continue to contribute innovative technologies to OpenSolaris, as Oracle already does for many other open source projects
  • Solaris 10 Next update CY2010 (“Update 9”)
  • OpenSolaris Next update 1st half CY2010
  • Bordeaux for OpenSolaris: for running MS programs without full Windows OS

      After remembering that BerkeleyDB is still doing fine I came to the conclusion that Oracle probably won’t do much evil. Somehow, he’ll turn OpenSolaris into a self-funding project, but with an ugly Oracle web design.
