How many cool applications have been written to the OS in the past 5 years? How many cool apps have been written for the new "Web 2.0" platform in that same period? Many developers these days never even see the operating system. Does that mean the OS doesn't matter? In this session, Sun Chief OS Platform Strategist Ian Murdock, Joyent CTO Jason Hoffman and Director of Systems Ben Rockwood will show that the latest innovations in operating system technology are happening in OpenSolaris and and will explore how even though the OS is invisible to developers much of the time, it very much still matters.
