Wednesday October 10, 2007 The message about OpenSolaris is obviously getting through to people. In a CBR (Computer Business Review) article about open sourcing of Microsoft Windows is this particularly telling sentence: "The Windows platform could compete equally with other non-proprietary OSs such as Linux and Solaris" . Yeah we are placed in the same "non-proprietary" camp as Linux. Now if only people could work out the difference between closed source and proprietary they aren't the same nor are they mutually exclusive (ie open source can be proprietary).
