Day 5: The inhabitants of New York City have tremendous pride for their tiny island. Sun finds its Solaris users have a similar pride. An ongoing
Sun-sponsored "Why I Love Solaris" contest is drawing a tremendous response
from students, system administrators, IT architects, researchers and
enterprises.
Day 4: Like the Great Wall, Solaris 10 is the culmination of years of work and shows true innovation in architectural design and security. Solaris 10 will
prove to be a significant milestone in the history of Solaris and its
strength will help it stand the test of time.
Day 3: On November 15, the residents of Tokyo, Japan will be one of the first to learn more about Solaris 10 at Sun's Network Computing 'O4 Q4 launch event.
Day 2: Early polls at Sun Microsystems are looking good as
customers cast their votes through downloads of Software Express for
Solaris.
Day 1: While the secrets of Easter Island in the South Pacific remain a mystery,
Sun Microsystems is planning to reveal new details regarding Solaris 10 on
November 15 at its Network Computing '04 Q4 launch in San Jose.

Day 10: The Count Up to Solaris 10 Has Officially Begun
Friday, Nov 12, 1:00 PM PT
Though Sun is often associated with Stanford, the company's history is
equally intertwined with the more rambunctious university across the bay.
Ever since UC Berkeley's BSD became the basis of Sun's standard
workstations, the organizations have remained close, both contributing
millions of lines of code to the public domain.
Currently, UC Berkeley edges Sun Microsystems for the #1 spot in
contributing open source code. But as Sun nails down its plans to open
source the world's most advanced UNIX operating system, Sun just may take it
back with Solaris. Either way, everybody wins.
Join Sun on Monday, November 15 for its Q4 Network Computing Launch.

Day 9: The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are the largest in the United
States, and the third largest in the world. How does one organize and
protect precious cargo at such a large facility that is vital to the world
economy? Through containers. Sun Microsystems' Solaris 10 utilizes a completely different type of
container, but the effect is the same.
Day 8: The positive qualities of the Golden Gate Bridge are similar to that of an operating system: solid framework, resilient, secure, unique architecture.
Day 7: Believe it or not, some people are not excited about the arrival of Solaris 10. After publicly bragging about how hard it is to switch from Red Hat's supposedly open distribution of Linux, Red Hat executives will be much dismayed to see Solaris 10 customers being able to use Project Janus, which runs Red Hat applications with negligible performance drain.
Day 6: Did you know that Big Ben actually refers to the thirteen ton bell inside, named after Sir Benjamin Hall? The clock keeps excellent time and rarely stops -- much like Solaris 10, which offers new features aimed at increasing system availability and reducing unplanned downtime.
