What Will Happen in IT in 2007?
An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet's Paul Murphy has set out his IT predictions for 2007. Featured among the completely predictable, OpenSolaris overtaking Linux is apparently inevitable within one year. From the article: 'By the end of the year the OpenSolaris community will be widely recognized as larger and more active than the Linux community.' Is 2007 the year of the OpenSolaris desktop? Other 'inevitables' include Microsoft's success with Vista, the continuing phase-out of Itanium, and the Cell processor powering most of the world's super-computers."

+5 Insightful, really!
As always, failing to learn anything from the vastly superior operating systems it pathetically fails to copy.
Indeed, and that's a deliberate and careful choice. It's a choice that has allowed UNIX to survive for 30 years, while one "vastly superior operating system" after another has come and gone.
Everything about linux is a half dozen not quite good enough "solutions" that are miles behind solaris's offerings.
Yes, and that is why Linux will continue to be successful while Solaris will fail.
I know its pretty standard for gnubies to not know anything besides linux, and speak of linux's greatness out of ignorance, but go read up on dtrace before spewing bullshit.
Sigh. I've been a UNIX hacker since V7. My experience tells me that morons like you are found in large numbers in every generation of computer users and OS designers, and I guess I just have to resign myself to the fact that there is nothing that can be done about it.
