Wow, the future for SPARC (and for Solaris) is <i>not</i> looking bright at the moment, huh? Which is a shame really. I mean, yeah, OpenIndiana or whatever it's called now will still be around in OSS form, and even the SPARC ISA is open, but Solaris was - at one time - a vibrant source of cool OS innovations... and competition is generally a Good Thing.
