Even granting their guesses about FUD, costs, and benefits, I am having trouble seeing how they can be in much of a position to fail to differentiate OpenSolaris very soon. It's not as if the development of the Linux kernel or even newer kernels were slowing down.

Java, OpenSolaris, and the Redshift vision are not interesting enough to reach the developers that Sun wants. Differentiation must also be nontechnical, and Schwartz et al know it.
