Excuse me - Solaris 10 wasn't "open source development" at all, even if Sun wants to make us believing that. AFAIK they only recently "opened", and their community is rather small compared to real F(L)OSS projects...

Well, the OpenSolaris community is still young, so...

But you're absolutely right that Solaris 10 wasn't developed under the free model (For the most part, that is. The newest 6/06 has begun to incorporate the first fruits of community development, but those are nothing major - yet)
