Stephen Borcich Talks About Open Source Development and Solaris 10
Q: What has Sun\'s role been in the Open Source Community?

A: Wow, let me give some stats to date. Our new OpenSolaris initiative to open source the latest Solaris(TM) technology will make Sun the largest contributor of open source, surpassing even the University of California at Berkeley. We have made important contributions to very visible and successful Open Source projects such as those from Apache, Mozilla, GNOME, OpenOffice, and JXTA.org. Additionally, we have worked with customers on implementations of Open Source software on our platforms to make sure the compatibility and performance stands up to their expectations.

Q: What is the significance of Solaris 10?

A: It is huge and we think everyone else is going to be playing catch up. It\'s the culmination of 3000 engineering years of development that gives us the best OS in the market bar none. Our customers can use the same safe, protected and scalable operating system they are familiar with on SPARC(R). The Solaris 10 OS runs on more than 350 SPARC and x86-based systems, including the new AMD Opteron processor and compatibility with existing applications is guaranteed. This combination provides Solaris users with the best range of choices and investment protection in the industry .

We\'ve also made migrating to Solaris 10 easier for developers. Sun guarantees compatibility all the way back to Solaris 2.6 and we now offer source code compatibility between SPARC and x86. Got an application that runs on SPARC on Solaris 2.6? It will run unchanged on Solaris 10 on SPARC and only requires a recompile to run on Solaris 10 for x86.
