As in Solaris 10, Update 11?

Something somebody made some offhand remark about 18 months ago that
may come out in the 2H of 2012, and zero talk of it after that?

I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

OOTH, Solaris 11.1 is available now, even for non-contract updates.

Of course somebody knows!

Those who are members of this group will not willingly reveal when the
new version will hit the streets. Those who know will not risk their
privileges. The transfer from the "in group" to the "out group" can
be a painful one!

Yes. Can't get patches, may as well install a new version if it ever comes
out.

Right, I was expecting it by now.

I think they need to put out something and call it final, just so everyone
can believe it's actually happening. The half-assed way they've been dealing
with things since they dropped Express is really not very impressive.

Yes, but some of us still run older SPARC boxes that worked fine on Express
and didn't even boot with SOL11.

Now we know what SOL stands for!

Of course you can get patches. If you happen to have supported hardware
and are willing to part with $1000 per CPU per year.

CPU socket, not installed CPU.

Is that better or worse? Does that mean that even if I pulled a CPU out
of my workstatation (and it were supported) I'd still have to pay $2000 a year?

Now (Feb 2013) it might be coming soon indeed, cause Oracle distributed "place holder patch" 147442-01, which always coincidences with a new update release. Found in Readme of this patch: "7144719 create S10U11 feature KU placeholder patch", more evidence neccessary? ;-)
