From his recent experience in blog, Sun Yunnual and President Jonathan Schwartz has something to worry about: the outside world has gradually thought that Solaris x86 has anti-Linux plot, or more clearly, is anti-GNU / Linux plot. Schwartz raised several examples (including CNET reports), the name is the media to mislead market cognition in the air ignition.
However, Schwartz should also be able to live itself. In his article written in the article, the title (strong anti-a social action) is enough to mislead many people (although the content is not the case). Although he said is very euphemistic, the focus is: Solaris x86 is seen as the enemy of Red Hat, but it is not good if it is considered to be paired with the Linux community.
Regardless of whether the Linux community is aware of, the GNU / Linux core technology is indeed currently a lot of Linux versions to be with Windows and UNIX. If Sun wants to attract IT purchaser, break through Red Hat, SUSE, Microsoft, IBM and HP, etc., then the company is clear that this community must not be absolutely. Therefore, Sun is in the banner of Red Hat, if it is interpreted as an anti-Linux, it is not worth it, because such an external world will think that Sun is a major resistance to open source (even open system).
This route problem is not only let Solaris X86 becomes one of the Linux versions. SUN studies Rob Gingell two years ago, I predicted that Solaris will open the source code for two years. After two years, his prediction came true, but he also hinded that Solaris and Linux should finally merge, "5 years later, When all the tribes are married each other, who will know the difference between Solaris with Linux? Who still tested so much? "Later, I found out that other Sun executives also agreed that Solaris will gradually integrate with Linux. Since Gingell is so grasped, only two questions left now: Why do you have to wait for five years (according to Gingell schedule, will it be implemented in three years)? What is the name of the merged product?
At the same time as we appear at the moment, Schwartz and other Sun competent will continue to defend the problem between Solaris, Linux, open source code. This is actually a sesame green bean. Not worth more flowers. Although Schwartz is a recent FORBES, it is dissatisfied with the name of the latest Forbes (see: Sun is still Linux potential threat), but it has also talked about the results of his hopes: defeating Red Hat.Forbes This article mentioned: "CSFB The research report pointed out that Sun changes the strategy, encourages the Solaris system that sells non-Sun hardware. "Sun is very happy to press the message to the Red Hat stock price, but for the next comment of the next comment. They probably only a little bit:" Sun Although in the low-end market movement, we still can't see that the market has any loose effect on the decision to use Linux. "
It is no wonder that Schwartz will be insomnia. (ZDNet China Chen Wei)
