Sun Introduces Subscription Solaris

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pay-to-play dept.

cyberlync writes "Sun is planning to implement a pricing policy similar to Microsoft's recent subscription pricing plan. Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's executive vice president of software, said that they are calling this project Orion. It looks like another attempt to grab more cash in this nasty economy to me. Schwartz said that they are going to try a similar senario with linux soon as well. On a side note, it mentions some interesting things about a new desktop distro of linux."

    almost everything's gnu now. many are yet unable to feel the refeshing sense of freedom provided by the good gnus, because the 'mainstream' (soon to be DOWnstream) media hasn't mentioned it, YET.

    omissions like that, along with the other phonIE scriptdead ?pr? 'news', leave many of US, a little peaced off, AGAIN.

    many of US J.'s, again, of course, as usual, are doing an EXCELLENT job of voting with yOUR wallets.

    carry on. all you need is love (etc...), da da da da da.
