OK, somebody slipped me a rumor about Sun open-sourcing a port of Solaris to IBM’s Power architecture. Another person wagged, “Well, they can’t even get Intel right; how could they have a port to Power already?” And, unfortunately, the source of the original rumor has been known to pull things out of his nether regions every now and then, so it’s difficult to even entertain it seriously. Except, that is, to consider whether this is another piece of Schwartz leakage wrapped up for a gullible reporter to run with just to create FUD.
