Zdnet reports today that Solaris is rumored to be open source. Linux has been hurting Solaris for years. I remember the time where Sun was tryting to sell SOlaris on Intel, I remember the time where they had this golden pepite named OpenStep, now Mac OS. Going open source just mean two things in this case: first, Sun’s time is over, they’ve lost the battle. Microsoft and Linux are the winners. Second, it’s commoditization time for the OS. Just another useless bet. I bet that the next move will be IBM and SAP going open source for their application server. Because the next victim of commoditization will be application servers.
