>The Linux stuff was a money-grab That seems like an odd conclusion to me. If you've got deep expertise in the spaces he does, and the server market moves mostly to Linux, getting involved there seems unavoidable. Lingering on the dying SmartOS ecosystem, even if it was technically better, wouldn't have served anyone well. Edit: Ah, as mentioned below, perhaps a joke? I'd attributed the smiley face only to the latter part of the sentence.

I think it was a joke.

The odd conclusion to me is how the last line I've post was interpreted as a serious statement. Didn't the "Before he got his Netflix special.." or the fact Linux is pretty much the only game in town with no sign of even being seriously challenged served as a hint?

  I thought the :) was obvious. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. Although at one point I thought Brendon not only abandoned solaris but also BSD.
