Could the Linux trolls please stop with the trolling? This is a thread about KMS getting into OpenSolaris, not an operating system war thread.
So why are you trolling here? Tell the same your trolly friends. Some of us try to figure out if there's any good reason to duplicate work. As fanboy you don't see this. Oh, you even fear to show your real nick...Quote:

It's still duplication for me, because I want they to work only on Linux :> I'm just looking at things from my point of view. Btw. BTRFS will probably be 'slower' than EXT4 too.Quote:

FYI I'm personally a Linux user, I just don't see any point in arguing whether or not an OS should exist. That's inherently being a flamebait. Even if I did not consider it that bad, this isn't the right thread. Move on.Quote:

There are substantial long-term strategic customer advantages to Oracle owning two key Sun software assets: Java and Solaris.

If you don't see a point it doesn't mean others don't see it too. I don't care what system are you using.
You labeled me a Solaris fanboy, I simply noted I'm not.Quote:
