These guys could definitely use such a navigation system:
http://triptracker.net/trip/727/map/
They're traveling all across America in an old Volvo, using the TripTracker.net web service for geo-locating their photos. TripTracker can read GPS EXIF headers in JPEG photos so it would work perfectly with Navman.
Well I haven't read Scoble's response, but how on earth can changes to IIS fix IE's rendering problems
Sigh. Here's the excerpt:
"I invite Håkon to watch Channel 9 too. In about a week we have an interview with Scott Guthrie, who heads up the IIS and ASP.NET teams. I gave Scott crap about just this problem in that interview and he says that they are working hard to fix it in IIS 7.0 and the next version of ASP.NET. Not exactly the answer that Lie will want to hear, but demonstrates that we are working to fix this problem company-wide (the Web teams here rely heavily on ASP.NET and IIS to generate their HTML and CSS)."
So it's not directly related to IE. But neither is Hakon's letter -- it's about interoperability in general.
It's one of the flagship Solaris 10 features. I'm thinking also because it's relatively new (as in unencumbered).
2. It seems very similar to gdb in role. Is this assumption correct? Does it compare favorably?
Not really gdb. Linux Trace Toolkit would come closest. LTT is not as powerful though.
Is a Linux/BSD/whatever port of this desirable/attainable?
First of all, CDDL (Sun's license) and GPL aren't compatible, so it's out of the question. LTT was recently merged into the -mm kernel patchset so there is definitely development going on in the Linux tracing front as well.

Robert Scoble, Microsoft's chief humanising officer has posted a response to Hakon's letter.
Apparently, they are working hard to fix it in IIS 7.0 and the next version of ASP.NET.
Apparently.
Besides, the if you follow the links from the fedora-devel post you refer to, all you get is a couple of png images of the boot processes.
That's because the project just started then. Here's the project page now with documentation and more samples:

1. Why has Sun open sourced this of all things?

Shaving off those 3 minutes might help.
I don't know why this didn't get modded up the first time, but here's the mirror again: bootchart.sourceforge.net.
