The Future of OpenSolaris 307
jjrff writes "Phoronix has a little piece about the future (or lack thereof) of OpenSolaris. It appears based on the current support lifecycle, OpenSolaris may be going away. There is a fun thread (read: mild flameage) on a ZFS list about it."

Here, fixed it for you. A competent vendor serving an incompetent client means "charge the sucker as much as he can pay!".
So:
* if you are competent, and your vendor is incompetent, better go with FLOSS.
* if you are competent, and your vendor is also competent, FLOSS is cheaper.
* if you are incompetent and your vendor is also incompetent, Propietary is the way.
* if you are incompetent and your is competent, stop paying through your nose and look for another vendor.
