Well, what do you think about news that no Solaris 12 will be delivered… A lot of rumours and bad gossip came up from competitors …
To be honest looking back how hard it was to get Solaris 11 re-certifications from ISV and other software vendors it might be a nice idea to skip this versioning fight and just improve the OS with updates… I do not care if it is called Solaris 10/11/12/13 or just 11.4 / 11.5 a.s.o. if the features will get more and more and it stays as stable as it is… There are still a lot of Solaris 9 and even more 10 installations in the field by people just being afraid from 11…
Also M$ told us that Win10 will be the last version and btw… HP-UX is at version 11.00 since 1997 😉
Oracle promises a Solaris Support until 2031 today and there is a 5 year roadmap for Solaris and SPARC nowadays…
I am really looking forward to seeing Solaris 11.next releases and new SPARC+++CPUs…
