Typing this as I am listenting to the Solaris Enterprise System Announcement. This is the best offering to date (by any company) to the developer community. I am sure this is going to be a landmark announcement.
In a nutshell, two key points:
- Free Solaris Enterprise System for developers.
- Solaris Enterprise System = Solaris 10 + Developer Tools + JES + System Management (n1)
- Eventual opensourcing of Sun multi-platform software, inline with OpenSolaris.
Even today, we are getting lot of interest back in Solaris from academic community. Now we are sure going to get more and more interest from developer community too.
