“The new release is not considered by Sun to be a
replacement for its flagship Solaris 10 operating system, though
Sun is now extending commercial support for OpenSolaris 2009.06 for
up to five years. The 2009.06 release comes at a critical time for
Sun and is likely the last OpenSolaris release before Sun is
acquired by Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) later this year.“”This is really a transparent development step toward the next
generation of the Solaris platform,” Dan Roberts, director of
product management datacenter software marketing at Sun, told
InternetNews.com. “Initially, OpenSolaris had a developer-and
desktop-centric flavor, but in this release we’ve moved from just
desktop and developer to a datacenter-capable mission-critical
operating system.””
