OpenSolaris issues are similar to OpenOffice?

I somehow missed this comment the other day… very interesting Sam. I’ve heard the same, but your history obviously lends more direct credibility. Let’s not forget Sun’s recent accomplishments with OpenDS either… see a pattern?  ;-)

Mike-
You may be interested to know that the OpenSolaris Community developments you & Roy have described read like an OpenOffice.org redux. (I speak from the experience of an ex-Marketing Project Lead of OpenOffice.org)

It is therefore hilarious to me, as it should be to all, that Sun calls itself an open source company. They have not got the foggiest clue, and this is all the more evident each 8-14 month period when I load a newer version of Ubuntu on the old box.

Linux improves because of trust. Period.
