As Sun counts down to the June 30 deadline for 
releasing the full Solaris 10 codeset to Open Source,

Operating Platforms Group vice president Tom 
Goguen key questions submitted by IT and OEM 
execs about how OpenSolaris might change their IT 
shops - including licensing,. the way they deploy and 
upgrade software, and even the way they work with 
Sun. It turns out, to reassure enterprise and OEM 
users of Solaris, OET discovered Sun is prepared to 
offer some extra assurance -- to ease any potential 
concerns or confusion Read OET's Enterprise FAQ for 
OpenSolaris.

software and web services tools met last week at an 
OASIS event to discuss how the future of B2B data 
and applications interop might rest in making sure 
business-specific XML schemas can speak to one 
another. OET spoke with OASIS' President Patrick
