Where's the Paris Hilton angle? 

Is it just me or is this the least exciting news story I've read all day? "Two IT companies will talk to some journalists tomorrow about an unknown topic. In other news, mass lunch-eating is expected between 12 and 1pm this afternoon, but we are unsure of precise sarnie-filling details at this time. We'll bring you more information as soon as we get it."

Or maybe, just maybe.... 

....they're going to try and bury the rumours that Solaris infringes on Unix IP, something which has become an issue now Novell have been confirmed as copyright owners of Unix and Unixware in the SCO case.

related? 

could it be at all related to IBM's launch tomorrow of the new Eclipse-based Lotus Notes/Domino 8... it already runs on various Unix kit, maybe Solaris is added to the list?

Lunch today 

Breaking News...... Polish Sandwich girl, known as "The Sandwich Bunny" because of her boundless Duracell like energy causes much mirth offering 'gentlemens' sex and kisses........or maybe its just us mishearing "You want fok and tish-you ? (aka Fork and tissues) due to her accent.

More tomorrow. :)

Russell needs to tell the non-Brit part of the world what "sarnie" means. And tell em "buttie" is a good substitute.

Ashlee - cynical author 

Writing "way less exciting like Sun and IBM announcing a VMware killer " - this is so way exciting and is my bet - the virtualization market is going bonkers at the moment

Operating system surprise? 

That's not news, Windows surprises millions of people everyday.

I

port of ZFS and DTrace from Solaris to AIX seems likely 

Given how far ahead they are in their respective areas

Windows surprises...? 

"That's not news, Windows surprises millions of people everyday."

Which surprise? That it actually happens to boot completely on a given morning?

Exit To DOS? Yes, please.
