New versions of Netbeans and OpenSolaris

Sun organised their CommunityOne event today, and took the opportunity to also release a new version of OpenSolaris, after three years of development. Although things are not very clear (there's an announcement of the new release on sun.com, a new website on opensolaris.com, but no mention of this release on opensolaris.org!), this should be the result of Project Indiana lead by Ian Murdoch, founder of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. Will this make forget all passed difficulties?

Netbeans also saw a new release with version 6.1, providing faster startup times, support for the Spring web framework, tighter Mysql integration and further ruby/JRuby enhancements.

Virtualbox, also acquired by Sun recently, had a release last week.
