I'm talking "change the world" stuff (well that might be exaggerating.) 
JAVA was a world changer. Solaris 10 sounds incremental.  I never liked Solaris so I avoid it.  I never figured out what a Silo Overflow was, something to hold cow food?.  For all I know it might be wonderful so I guess I should just shut up. 

On a related note, it appears that another UNIX OS will eventually join SCO in the tarpit.  Killed by linux?  I can't see IBM keeping both AIX and Solaris.
