Are you actually advocating OpenSolaris? If so, you should know that Scott McNealy called it "Sun's version of Linux." And do you honestly suppose that Sun would have opened up Solaris were it not for the pressure from Linux?
By the way, you seem awfully concerned that China could use Linux to get ahead of the US. That can't happen if we use it too. But if we're stupid enough to keep paying billionaires for a product that is inferior to what we can get for free, I'd say we'll get what we deserve.
Your understanding of basic economics is abysmal.
Of course not. As I already said, Sun has already laid of thousands and thousands of workers, and felt they had to release their own code just to compete. Microsoft released source code to the Chicoms too, but only in order to compete with Linux as well. Without Linux in places like China, they would have had little choice other than to accept closed source offerings from the U.S., but now, they get almost everything "free".

Not surprisingly you'll take the lazy way out and just sling insults instead. You'll get what you deserve, definitely.
