And that is what they call spin. Didn't they fire the people who write it?

No, they did not. How do I know? Because I'm still working on Solaris almost nine years later along with many others. Same manager, same projects.

Staffing levels in some areas was changed as was publicly announced.

Sorry, it was reported that the job losses at Oracle were from the Solaris team. I read the memo from Oracle on Solaris 12 and was (and am) completely unconvinced by it, but maybe I am just cynical. I am still moving away from it as fast as I can convince the board to back me. Good luck on the Solaris team, some good things could come out of it (with some open source licensing). Oracle could do themselves some serious reputational favours by staying out of court.
