Solaris Coming to IBM's Power Architecture?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the and-other-ponderings dept.

johnm writes "Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's pony-tailed number two, dropped this little snippit in his blog where he talks extensively about what he thinks 'open' means: 'For example, as we continue porting Solaris onto IBM's Power architecture (demo coming soon!)...' Does this mean you'll soon be able to ditch OS X and stick on Solaris 10 onto Macs?" While coming off as an ad for Java, Schwartz also raises some valid points about Unix and migration.

    The message is "YOU FAIL IT!", and in your case your failure is so monumental that Hitler's failure pales in comparison. Surely there will be many documentaries of your spectacular failure in the future.
