In a blog item titled "Is the Linux community afraid of Opensolaris?," Sun IT architect Joerg Moellenkamp writes:
I tend to look at the increased comments that we should stop (developing) Solaris and start to contribute at Linux as a sign of people being nervous. They dont know, which role Solaris will play in the future. They assumed a waning relevance similar to other closed source operating systems like HPUX or AIX. But the opensourcing changed the rules of the game. When we announced Opensolaris, they said "Show us the code". We showed them the code. When we showed them the code, they said "Show us the community". We start to show them the community. Now they say "Is this community real?". There is a real community, there is real interest. And now we will see where this will end. Im sure that this end wont be irrelevance.
Moellenkamp's remarks may be a direct response to recent remarks by some in the Linux community that Unix and Solaris didn't have a future.
Solaris and OpenSolaris have enjoyed some new life, not just from the "opening" of the code and creation of a community but also from Intel's decision last year to support the platform on servers with its hardware. But, then again, OS/2 enjoyed a good amount of market support, too. . . until it didn't.
