View point from a Solaris engineer at ERI

My dear friend, one of my team members, Forrest Wu, a ZFS test development engineer at ERI, posted his new blog yesterday after our team meeting. He answered, at least, couple of questions we discussed in our meeting, as a matter of fact.

Disagreeing with the reason causing Solaris adoption slow and unenergetic in China that Jonathan heard and said in his blog, Forrest reckoned that there were three reasons made that happened in China so far. China has had very short history of computer education and Windows dominates most of it for a while, compared to Europe and US. The breath and depth of computer applications are in a small scale. And the last, the perspective, such as, Solaris vs RedHat.

But it looks like Forrest and other engineers are pretty optimistic for the future of the Solaris in China for some strong reasons, like yang students here are very curious about technology  and many small enterprises would take advantage of OpenSolaris.

Great vision, I would say.
