Honestly I do not really get the point why everybody is so upset about what happened to OpenSolaris. I can understand the steps Oracle took – and do not forget: The source is still under a CDDL license. A bit sad that the community doesn’t get real-time updates anymore.

On the other side I think that the initial idea of the Illumos project to replace the last closed source bits in ON is a good one. But I’m also looking forward to the Solaris 11 Express edition – I know some Solaris developers over at Sun/Oracle and those guys do a great job!
