OpenIndiana seems to be doing pretty well outside of Oracle. It might never have the popularity of Linux but I use it for my home file server and it's been great. Joyent has also put a lot of money into developing OpenSolais so I don't think it's going to disappear any time soon.
I agree. Even though I am on the Blu-Ray side I'll just be happy to have one standard. It does seem that there are many technical reasons to use Blu-Ray, though.
Sun doesn't really run a proprietary operating system on proprietary hardware. Solaris is open source and free and the SPARC architecture is open as well. Definitely not as proprietary as Windows on Intel.

Oracle could relicense it, but Oracle is a terrible company.

I think you mean ZFS is the future and the future is now.
How do you define the "intrinsic performance" of a language?
