Is it possible that Sun finally decided to open-source Solaris in hopes the OSS community would help them port it to more platforms? The user gets the "stability" of a commercial operating system with the "compatibility" of an open source operating system. Sun may also brag about the enhanced security that Open Solaris provides because of all the eyes allowed to poke into it, discover the holes, and close them.

Just a thought.
