Sun's new act is hard to take the lead, and developers are worried.

Although I know Sun Technology (Especially Java) is one of the most widely used technologies in the world. Although I am one of them, it is also because of my love for sun and its technologies that I have contributed to this article.

Sun has made many moves recently, especially in open source. First opensolaris, Sun will use the next generation of ZFS files System Solaris Operating System Go to the open-source project, and now you can Free Download . Sun said that it was about to invest 2 billion yuan to build virtual technology. Production Line And announce the future Product Open source.

This should have been an amazing thing, but the Open Source of virtualization products, whether opensolaris or sun is not yet released, has attracted the voices of the industry and developers.

First, opensolaris is not open-source for the entire product by default. (in comparison, the Red Hat ora is available for the entire product.) It is also the "Best, real thing (something that supports Solaris running) still available only on Sun's own commercial chip, such as Niagara." Analysts even pointed out that the only purpose of Sun's open-source application of ZFS is to use open-source to expand its influence and scope to solve its hardware support problems, this allows the operating system to run almost anywhere. As for the Open Source of virtual products, the degree of open source is still a question. In addition, Sun also said at the official briefing that "Of course it also supports business cooperation ......"

For developers, open source is learning and sharing, but for enterprises, open source is a way to achieve business benefits. But how to use open source to bring business value to the fore is like how to use a double-edged sword, a carelessness may hurt yourself. When I was talking to my friends in the circle, they all agreed that Sun's open-source policy commercialization was too obvious, and it was not the best style of everyone.

What makes developers even more criticized is that Sun's technological progress has dragged on. As before, there have been very few scenarios that often create technical highlights. In addition to regular version upgrades and missing detection, it is hard for developers to feel Sun's technical Innovation And strive to give people the feeling that they are eating Java and Solaris. It is also because there are very few new product promotions, so we can only use the "Open Source" flag to wave something on the fur.

In addition, I visited Sun many times and Technical training At that time, I felt sun's employees had a large age structure. Although experienced, they were far less enthusiastic about their work and fighting spirit. Microsoft, Google, and other tech-new people who have been on the Internet all over the world, and there are even more novelty and novelty (products. In this regard, sun is not only behind it giants such as Microsoft and Google, but even behind Products Originality And Oracle and EMC.

But in any case, Java, Solaris, and netbeans are still my favorites, and I have not found a better alternative than them. I hope developers will only worry about it.
