extinction? Fiercely clever paleontologists have been predicting Sun's demise for several years. When I first joined Sun as a new college grad, I was advised, "it is nie unto the end of the Cretaceous period!" But hey, I figured that given the times just having a job put me ahead of the curve. In the past six months, however, I have come to realize that Sun, as a company, possesses an incredibly rare ability--that of adaptation. So although, the field of computer technology may indeed be entering the Palaeogene period, Sun can and "is" evolving to meet the new challenges! This evolution is evident in the soon-to-be shipping product, Solaris 10. Many of the new technologies in Solaris 10 are redefining the function and abilities of an Operating System. Some examples are Dtrace, Zones, and Predictive Self-Healing. There are interesting times ahead, so buckle your seatbelt and hang on. (2004-07-16 15:00:48.0) Permalink
