A CNET Blog Lauds the Solaris OS

A short and succinct posting on CNET explains why the Solaris OS "is no slouch"—not by far, given its 12 million licenses as of end-February 2008. The author, Matt Asay, also shares his thoughts on Linux and Sun's possible involvement.

One can't talk about the Solaris OS without mentioning its unique capabilities, such as DTrace and Zettabyte File System (ZFS). This posting calls DTrace magic. As for ZFS, these two recent blogs are fun to read:

• A developer concludes, "ZFS rocks."
• A Sun fellow makes a point about ZFS with a hammer.
