OpenSolaris Speed VS. Linux. 4198

Technically, it was only "postponed" but I think we all knew it was canceeled, I grant you that.

But if IBM doesn't flip flop, what was;

OSF? Monterey?

But these are all normal changes in strategic direction for a company.

"Postponing" Solaris x86 was a grave strategical error which would have end Sun had it not been reversed.

I'm not sure we flip-flop much on that; we feel that Linux is a "like" operating system and on our side in the battle against the evil empire. But Red Hat is a compebreastor and any perceived flipflopping in that respect derives from that. We re-sell Red Hat, SuSE but not MS Windows. (We qualify the hardware, but I'm sure we don't want to get in the "you're the OEM, you support it" model of shipping hardware with Windows)

Oh, I bet Oracle likes such configurations if you do the $math.
