A comment on Zulu: Multi-platform Commercialized OpenJDK.

The obvious question is - does it provide anything additional on top of `OpenJDK` that I can already install via `apt-get install openjdk` ? I suppose those builds are 100% open source too.

I skimmed through 451's analyst report if Azul is bringing any of their own improvements to Zulu but answer seems negative.

They apparently have a pretty cool garbage collector for the JDK, but it's not part of Zulu, it's part of Zing (their commercial JVM).

Also, this has been around for like a year, so it's not even really that new...
