Paul Murphy talking about the predictable stuff wrote:
By the end of the year the OpenSolaris community will be widely recognised as larger and more active than the Linux community.

You really think that Solaris will be more popular than Linux?
Well I don’t think so… and I don’t think that Unixfans should start an opinion war between them.
I’m fascinated of all Unix systems or Unix hybrids, including Linux.
I use Linux at home and I just wanted to install opensolaris. Well, after this… I think I will try it for a little time, but nothing more. Why should I leave a product intalled on my system, when the manufacturer of it sees himself as an enemy rather than a friend?

Honestly I doubt that is going to happen any soon.
I think OpenSolaris might really take over in the long run, it strictly depends on how Sun will eventually adopt a symbiotic approach.
We don’t know yet, but we shall soon see..
